MSI: Wind Coming to Major Retailer, New Models Coming Soon

Posted on October 5, 2008 by Dexter Panganiban

There will be a new MSI Wind with following specification

The Wind U100 will be available at a national, and very large retailer in the coming week. The Wind with a 3-cell battery and Windows XP will be priced at $399.
MSI will expand the Wind product line with a business-focused Wind U120 (or what he kept calling the Wind 2). The Wind U120 will have a whole new look, SSD and hard drive options, and 3.5G connectivity. It will hit the U.S. in late November or December and will be priced under $600.
Linux netbooks are returned 4 times as often as ones that run Windows XP.
The Wind Desktop will be brought to the U.S. in the coming months.

Here are some of the question which was tried to be answered by MSI’s Director of U.S. Sales Andy Tung

The Wind U100 has been a global hit. Can you share anything about its success?

It seems as though brick-and-mortar retailers have been hesitant to stock netbooks or have even ignored them, at least until now. Why do you think that is?

You mention the return rates being high. Has that been the case with the Wind as well?

Interestingly enough, we struggled with the Linux version of the Wind U90. Are there plans to tailor a Linux OS for the Wind?

Part of MSI’s business plan has been to team up with other OEMs and let them rebrand the Wind under there name. What is the business model there?

On the shelves then, what will differentiate the MSI Wind from the rebranded models?

Some individuals still struggle to buy a Wind U100 with a six cell battery through e-tailers such as Amazon.com. Have you caught up on production of the system and the batteries?

There have been rumors of a nine-cell battery. How much runtime do you expect that to bring to the Wind?

Is there anything about the original Wind you wish you could improve?

Are the plans then moving forward to expand the Wind product line?

What types of specifications will the U120 or Wind 2 have?

Any plans for a dual-core Atom processor in this version? Or mobile broadband?

Any idea of the pricing of the U120?

Any plans to release the Wind Desktop in the U.S.?

With Lenovo and Samsung entering the market with 10-inch netbooks, how do you differentiate the Wind?

The Wind in some ways has made MSI more of a household name. Has the success of the Wind impacted MSIs core notebook business in any way?

Another reason why buying at this time of netbook is still necessary, There are lot of choices coming out.

Blogging is an art and I believe that blogging can be done anywhere and anytime where ever you are. There are time that you want to blog a certain event or a certain thing but a problem will rise that you don’t have your machine with you. So what is my point ?

My point is, whenever you like Blogging as one source of your income mobility of your gadget is a must One might choose a netbook , a laptop or perhaps a tablet PC. The comfort that it may bring to you is really great. But you have also to choose those tablet Pc that weighs less because it will give you pain when ever you will travel.

A Printer is also an optional gadget that a blogger should have. What if you are going to a gathering and you need to print your calling card. So that is why it is must and as an additional better to keep hard copy of your earnings

If you are a type of senti blogger, Availing scanners is also great where you can scan your old pictures and datas that you may want to blog later.

LG is releasing a 3G netbook called the Momo X110

Posted on September 29, 2008 by Dexter Panganiban

LG is releasing a 3G netbook called the Momo X110. Like all netbooks, it has indistinguishable specs: the ubiquitous 1.6GHz processor, a 1.3MP webcam, a 10 inch screen and Windows XP. The big addition is the 3G radio antenna, which will likely see the X110 as a bundle-deal with cellphone carriers.
