A Torrent of Atom N450 Netbooks 

coming Jan. 11, 2010.

From Engadget:

The Long awaited move to the Pine Trail

platform is set to go off with

a pretty major bang of vendor support

come next month. Acer, ASUS,

Lenovo, and MSI are all said to have lined up

their N450 wares --

we know that for a fact with Lenovo --

and are now awaiting Lord Intel's

predetermined date to start shipping.

We're also hearing the even faster N470 chip

will start making the rounds in March 2010.
