Fujitsu Siemens to launch Atom-based Amilo Netbook?

Reuben Lee | Jul 14, 2008

Apparently, the Apple iPhone 3G isn't the only product getting all the attention this weekend. A German Web site has unveiled pictures and details of what it claims is the upcoming Netbook from Fujitsu Siemens (more commonly know as Fujitsu in Asia).

Based on the supposed picture of the Fujitsu Netbook, it looks fairly simple in terms of design, with a black-and-white color theme that's reminiscent of the Fujitsu Lifebook U1010. The keyboard looks awfully tiny (also like the U1010), though that's only to be expected for most Netbooks. The Fujitsu Netbook will also come with an 8.9-inch display, Windows OS (XP most probably) and an Atom processor, according to various reports.

The rumored Netbook will be part of the Fujitsu Siemens' Amilo line. It is expected to retail for about 300 to 400 euros (US$477 to US$636), though no launch dates were given. We are still awaiting Fujitsu Singapore's response to this report. More details to follow.

Update: A Fujitsu Singapore representative told CNET Asia that the company does not have any Netbooks in its radar at press time and will not comment on rumors of upcoming notebooks. It seems that we'll just have to wait till more information is available before we'll know if the Fujitsu Siemens Netbook actually exists.
