More evidence of the continued rise of netbooks can be found in recent data reported by Digitimes, claiming that netbook LCD panel shipments will increase this quarter.
Though the back-to-school netbook market was weaker than forecasted, netbook demand is still healthy. Growth may slow, however, in October due to "weaker demand from end-market players."
Numbers for specific vendors are promising, with Dell expecting 1.2-1.4 million shipments third quarter and Acer looking at 3-3.5 million Acer Aspire One shipments.
