Well, so much for that: our friends at Laptop have discovered that the ATI Mobility Radeon HD3200 listed on the Wind U110's spec sheet was a typo, and that the machine's 1.6GHz Atom Z530 is actually paired with the dramatically more boring Intel GMA 500 graphic chipset. That makes the claimed nine-hour battery life slightly easier to believe, even if it is super-disappointing -- looks like we're still waiting on that dream netbook.

It's a Netbook...why are you sitting in one place with it? Move around! Take it for a jog or something.

*waits for a dual core atom netbook with HD3200 video*

Two things are keeping me from getting a netbook. First is the small-ish screen size, but I can get past that. Second is having a single-core processor. I would say that most apps these days (or should I say operating systems) are on the verge of pushing a single-core CPU. If I could swap out the single-core in my laptop with a dual core, and get a faster HD (still on IDE), I'd keep my current lappy despite how heavy it is in comparison to a netbook. but alas...
