Samung: Now with Notebooks!

OK, well this isn't news for anybody outside the US, but it is for us. Samsung has been competitive in the world notebook market for a while now, but back in the dim mists of time, they had agreed to be an OEM for Dell, and as such, left the US market alone. Engadget reports that the times, they are a changin'. The last Samsung-made Dell of any note was the Latitude X1, and before that, most of the small form factor Latitudes at least as far back as the Latitude LS. We haven't been able to even sample their larger offerings, and this is all-around good news for consumers.

Sammy is entering the U.S. Netbook market at the same time with the NC10. This should open up some competition among "premium" netbooks.
