Liliputing offers subnotebook PC round-up

Although there have been subnotebooks on sale for well over a decade, the category seems to be taking off with the low cost Asus Eee PC. And with readily-available reference designs from Intel (Classmate PC) and VIA (NanoBook), a lot of PC manufacturers can enter the market. Liliputing has therefore compiled a list of what is and might one day be available, with pictures, specifications and links.

The list longer than you probably think. It includes machines from Indian, Brazilian and even UK-based suppliers (see Elonex One), though it's missing Hacao Classmate PC from Viet Nam. It's also missing the serious subnotebooks (Flybook, OQO, Sony etc), the Origami style UMPCs that are usually small Tablet PCs, such as the Samsung Q1, web pads and phone-style PDAs. So, it isn't intended to be a complete list of subnotebooks, but for what it does cover, it's very useful.
