It must have been, ooh, nearly a week since our last new netbook announcement, so thankyou Samsung for breaking the hours of silence by announcing the N310.

The new netbook, which follows on from the NC10 series, will be 10.1 inches, offers an unspecified Atom processor and 160gb hard disk space. Long gone are the days when your netbook’s storage space would be dwarfed by your mp3 player. It will also offer optional HSDPA or WiBro connectivity for internet when wireless signal is out of reach.
