Averatec to inevitably pump out a netbook

Averatec reliably cranks out stylish-but-generic takes on most new hardware trends, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that the company is prepping a netbook. Although nothing's been locked in, it sounds like we should expect an Eee 1000-class machine, with a 10.2-inch screen and an Atom processor — but it'll also have a "real" Shift key, a 120GB drive, and a $399 – $499 price tag. We should fine out more by Christmas, when this thing hits stores — but will anyone care by then?
