Then just yesterday Acer’s mobile product manager Martino Mombrini let slip that an updated model is on its way. The D260, like its predecessor, will also be able to dual boot Android and Windows.

  • Is the Nokia Booklet 3G just an overpriced netbook? This promo video says so.

    Is the Nokia Booklet 3G just an overpriced netbook? This promo video says so.
