VIA Unveils VIA OpenBook Mini-Note Reference Design

"Taipei, Taiwan, 27 May 2008 - VIA Technologies, Inc, a leading innovator of power efficient x86 processor platforms, today introduced the new VIA OpenBook™ mini-note reference design targeted at the rapidly growing global market for ultra-portable notebooks."

It looks like it might stack favorably against the Asus Eee PC, which has also recently adopted an 8.9 inch display with its Eee PC 900 model.

Q: What should we call these things: subnotebooks, ultra-portables, netbooks, mini-notes?
