SAGEM SPIGA

With all the netbooks nowadays hovering around the 10.1-inch display design, would you want something smaller? We’re not sure if Sagem is taking things to the extreme with its Spiga, but if you want something that will fit into your sling bag without any problems; the 4.8-inch Spiga will certainly fit the bill. It’s powered by a 1.1GHz Intel Atom processor, sports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G and a webcam. It might seem a tad pricy at 499 Euros ($740) though. Check out a video of it in action...

MSI RETOOLS WIND BOX DE200 AND DC200

Well, what do you know? Last we saw MSI's Wind Box DE200, it was sittin' pretty at a booth at CeBIT.

The rumor is that Dell and HP have placed orders with Taiwanese manufacturer Wistron for 3D notebooks and they could arrive soon. Acer has been rumored to release a notebook with a 16-inch 3D display as soon as next month. I have to expect 3D technology would add quite a bit to these types of notebooks...
