You probably know Coby as a manufacturer of low-end audio/video accessories, but today the company jumped on the netbook bandwagon with the NBPC1330 netbook PC, pictured above.  The device features a 13.3” TFT LCD screen with a 1024 x 600 resolution, a 1.6GHz AMD Athlon Neo processor, 160GB hard drive, up to 2GB of RAM, 802.11 b/g/n WiFi, HDMI out and a 3 cell battery with 2-3 hours of runtime.

No word on pricing or availability, but the device just passed through the FCC today, so we’d expect that it will be released soon.

Chinese electronics manufacturer Haier isn’t exactly well known for its computers, but today the company passed a decent-looking convertible tablet PC through the FCC.  Known as the X220P, the device rocks an Intel Atom processor (speed unknown), 10.1” touch screen display with a 1024 x 600 resolution, 802.11 b/g/n WiFi, and 3G wireless data, all in a package that weighs slightly less than 3 pounds.  The user manual for the device shows that the device runs Windows XP or Linux.

No word on pricing or availability yet.  The device doesn’t appear to have any obvious branding either, so it’s possible that the device will be rebranded before it makes its way to the States.

Samsung’s N230 netbook made an appearance at Computex this year, and today the device made its way through the FCC thanks to a filing by Broadcom.  The N230 features a 10.1”, 1024 x 600 display, Intel Atom N450 processor, 1GB of RAM, 250GB hard drive and Windows 7 – all in a 2.2 pound package.

You can preorder the device today for $405, although we don’t have an official release date for the device yet.  However, today’s FCC filing is good evidence that we will be seeing the N230 soon.

Shenzhen-based E-Benton Laptop Co., Ltd. passed the miniNOTE netbook pictured above through the FCC yesterday.  The device features an 11.1” WXGA screen, Intel Atom N270 processor running at 1.6GHz, integrated Intel GMA950 graphics, a 1.3mp camera, 3 USB ports and Windows XP.  The miniNOTE weighs in at 3 pounds, and measures 10.8” x 7.1” x 1.2”.

There’s not much new with the miniNOTE, although we like the device’s slick styling.  There’s no word if or when the netbook will be making its way to the United States.  Most likely, the device will be rebranded if it does make its way out of China.

ASUS’ Eee PC 1016P made its first appearance at CeBIT this year, and today the netbook made an appearance on the FCC.  The device features a 10.1, a choice of Intel Atom N450, N455 or N475 processors, up to 2GB of RAM, and a 9 hour battery life.  Wireless features include 802.11 b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0 and WiMAX, although today’s FCC filing only focused on WiFi and Bluetooth.

No word on pricing or availability, but today’s FCC filing is a good indication that the netbook will be released soon.

The LG LGX14 netbook, pictured above, made its way through the FCC today.  Unfortunately, FCC documents don’t give us a whole lot of info on the device.  However, test reports do confirm that the netbook will support wireless GSM 850/1900, and WCDMA band II and V wireless data.  Support for WCDMA bands II and V made the device a good fit for AT&T in the United States.

FCC filings show several names for the LGX14 including the LGX14A, X140, XB140 and XD140.  We’re guessing that LG will use different model numbers depending on the region in which the netbook is sold.

No word on pricing or a release date.  A closeup of the LGX14’s label is below:

Asus’ Eee PC 1018P first emerged at CeBIT this March, and today the 10” netbook made an appearance on the FCC.  According to test reports, the device supports 802.11 b/g/n, although there’s no indication that the device will have 3G data capabilities.  We also know that the device will rock Intel N455 or N475 Atom processors, and feature Bluetooth, USB 3.0 connectivity and 10 hours of battery life.

We don’t have any info on pricing or a release date, but we’ll keep you updated when this info is available.

This netbook from HP made an appearance on the FCC today thanks to a filing by Ralink.  Known as the H110UI1, the device sports a nice Batmobile-ish matte black finish, and appears to be part of HP’s Mini lineup.

We don’t know much more about the device, other than it sports an 802.11 b/g/n WiFi card from Ralink.  HP has made a bunch of announcements today, so we’ll keep you posted as we learn more.

Taiwanese OEM Anadem Information Inc. passed the A101P netbook through the FCC today.  The Windows XP-powered device offers what has become a standard suite of netbook features, including an Intel Atom N450 processor, 10.1” LCD WXGA display with a 1024 x 600 resolution, HDD support up to 320 GB, integrated GMA3150 graphics, and webcam.

The A101P doesn’t really bring anything new to the netbook market.  Although it will be interesting to see how the device is branded if and when it comes to the United States.

Last week we spotted the LG X140 netbook as it passed through the FCC.  Test reports show that the LG X140 will be sold under several model numbers, including LGX14, LGX14A, XB140 and XD140.

Today, the LG X140 made another appearance on the FCC, this time with support for GSM 850/1900 and WCDMA bands II and V.  Support for WCDMA bands II and V is a good indication that the device will be supported in some way by AT&T in the US.

LG has been pretty aggressive on the notebook/netbook front recently, although the company has been slow to bring these products to the States.  We’ll keep you updated as we learn more.
