LG X120 released in US

LG X120 netbook in US

LG now released their first netbook, the X120 LG yesterday in the U.S.. As we said before, the netbook will be available from Radio Shack.

It is now clear that the netbooks will be available from Radio Shack online and in select retail stores and AT & T. No pricing information for the stand-netbook has been released. The LG X120 can be picked up by AT & T with a data contract. Unfortunately, the contract is more than originally thought.

This Netbook seems to take place only with the $ 60 package of $ 35 package is available. The contract is for 2 years, which represents the Netbook on the expensive side. I hope we’ll see it on the $ 35 per month package shortly.

Of course, the higher fee means you more. You get 5 GB of data instead of 200MB and you also get access to 20,000 WiFi hot spots at no additional cost.

Europeans Love Acer Netbooks More than the Eee PCs

Europeans Love Acer Netbooks More than the Eee PCs

Reports from analysts Canalys Natalie Spitz said that Asus takes the netbook manufacturers pact in terms of market share in Europe. Acer has been followed by a commanding 32.4% market share of Asus with 19.6%. Area performance include – Europe, Middle East and countries in EMEA. Acer Netbook Shipment in Europe is growing by 4.2% from 3 Quarter 2008 to 3rd Quarter of 2009.

Is not it interesting that Asus, which was adopted, carved the netbook niche market, have now play second fiddle to Acer, which was rather a little too late to enter the market? What does it say? Does this mean that Acer netbooks are better than the Eee PC? Or maybe cheaper?

Other statistics from other companies include netbook – Samsung with 12%, HP with 11.6%, Toshiba with 4.2% and Dell with only 3.5%.

The report also said that there are approximately 3.7 million netbooks in the EMEA region and for the 3rd Quarter shipped. This is 68.9% more than what ship a year ago. This goes to show just that netbooks are still their share of the industrial PC market.
