You may recall that I wrote about the possibility of wireless carriers subsidizing netbooks, those sub-notebooks first popularized by the Asus Eee PC. On Friday, Radio Shack announced the first of those deals, at least in the U.S, as it is selling the Acer Aspire One with 3G wireless connectivity for a mere $99.99. Sort of.

You'll recall HP unveiled the 2133 Mini-Note PC in April, and they've apparently been pleased --- despite the influx of others to the netbook party --- with the results. On Wednesday they unveiled a new line of netbooks.

Many have been awaiting the day when they didn't have to install Windows XP on their Asus Eee PCs themselves, and that day has come, with Asus announcing in an emailed press release that selected Best Buys now have Asus Eee PC 4G PCs with Windows XP pre-installed in-stock. It also appears that "selected Best Buys" includes the online store.
