Acer has officially announced their competitor to the Asus EeePC and the MSI Wind: the Acer Aspire One.
So what do we know? not a lot as their Aspire One fancy marketing site has no substance. We can see it has an Intel Atom processor, a 8.9" screen at 1024x600 resolution, comes in multiple colors, runs Linpus Linux Lite, and weighs under 2.2lb. The message seems to be "as long as it has style, feeling, vision, and power, who cares about specs, dimensions, and price".
Update: The Aspire One has shown up on German price comparison sites, I doubt their numbers are official but they list the Aspire One with 8GB storage and 512MG RAM for 329 Euros or 80GB hard drive and 1GB RAM for 399 Euros (10% cheaper than the older less powerful EeePC 900!).
