We’ve been chomping at the bit waiting for a Netbook to have USB 3.0. Last month we heard several models coming out while at CeBIT, but still nothing from the manufacturer websites.
Today SlashGear reported a new ASUS 1018P Netbook with USB 3.0 out-n-about. You can see the bright blue connectors above. To give you an idea of what the ASUS 1018P can do, consider working on a Netbook with Intel’s latest Pine Trail Atom N455 and N475 processors, with Bluetooth 3.0 and USB 3.0 connectivity along with the promise of 10hrs runtime.
In addition [and this is good] the 1018P would come with integrated 3G, though there’s no word on whether that will be a standard-fit feature or an upgrade at time of order.
The last bit of no-news I guess you could say is no word on price points and no word on availability. All I can say is “come on guys, lets get it going!”
