We can thank ASUS for kicking off the netbook craze with its Eee PC line. Originally, it looked like the netbook class would be mostly aimed at schools and developing nations along the lines of the XO notebook. Contrary to that initial belief, the netbook has been embraced by consumers as a low cost alternative to a traditional notebook for surfing the web and other tasks. Fujitsu has announced that it will be entering into the netbook fray with a netbook called the Amilo Mini. (source: dailytech.com)
