Toshiba’s NB line of netbooks has been well received.  Their current model, the NB200 has won editor’s choice awards from Laptop Mag and PC Mag.  Today, Toshiba passed their upcoming netbook, the NB300, through the FCC.  While there isn’t much info available in FCC filings, what we do see looks good.

Like the NB200, the NB300 will have a 10.1 inch screen.  However, Toshiba upgrades the NB300 with Qualcomm’s Gobi2000 chipset, giving the device broad coverage of 3G bands, including EVDO, WCDMA/HSPA, as well as CDMA2000 and EDGE.  The Gobi2000 features GPS as well, an added plus for the navigationally challenged.

Judging from label pics of the NB300, the device will be about the same size as the NB200.  Other than that, there’s not much else to report on.  Toshiba hasn’t formally announced the NB300, and the filing today seems a bit too late for a Christmas release.  But if the NB300 comes out in 2010, it may feature an Intel Atom PineView, which will definitely be worth the wait.
