With the Gmail button, you can get new message alerts, see previews of your mail and use Toolbar’s search box to find any message no matter what page you’re on.

Google Toolbar also has a “Send to” feature: when you click on the “Send to” icon, a Gmail compose window opens that automatically includes a link to the page you’re currently on and any text you have highlighted on that page.

I guess, most of you must have never heard of Red Fox Netbooks. This is probably because they are sold only in Philippines. Anyway, they have been upgraded with an Atom Processor and larger display now. Look how similar is it as compared to ASUS EEE 1000H (specification wise too!)

Here are the specs of Red Fox Wizbook:

• 10.2″ display screen (1024×600 pixel)
• Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz
• 1 GB RAM
• 80 GB SATA HDD
• 1.3MP webcam
• WiFi 802.11 b/g
• Built-in Stereo Speakers
• LAN Slot RJ-45
• Card Reader SD/MMC/MS

It comes with just 4000maH battery which should provide you battery life of around 2-2.5 hours.

There are rumors that the partnership for Netbooks and MIDs between VIA and NVIDIA are now over.

It would have been great if the deal between the VIA and NVIDIA was successful. It could have given rise to netbooks with powerful GPUs. Running more powerful Operating system and games would also have been possible.
