<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1102/lenovoskylight-ces.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[Qualcomm scored an important if now largely symbolic victory in its dispute with Smartbook AG over the "smartbook" label.  Germany's Patent and Trademark Office ruled that Smartbook AG's two trademarks on the formal name couldn't be applied to the generic term, which Qualcomm applied to any small, ultralight notebook using a cellphone-class processor and OS.  Qualcomm can now use the term freely a...]]></description>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1006/toshibaac100.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[Toshiba's last portable launch of the day is as equally unique as the others, as it signals the company's first step into smartbooks.  The AC100 is just 0.8 inches thick and weighs 1.9 pounds but should be capable of more than an Intel notebook through its processor.  Through a 1GHz, dual-core Tegra 250, it should handle HD video but still survive for up to seven hours on a charge....]]></description>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1005/lenovoskylight-ces.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[Adobe's repeated delays for Flash are a large part of why smartbooks haven't launched yet, ARM marketing VP Ian Drew said this week.  Optimizations needed to make the plugin work have prevented the Lenovo Skylight and similar ARM-based mini notebooks from meeting their original spring targets.
