I love names that are easy to interpret. The Incredible Hulk? That guy's scary. The Three Stooges? Those guys are funny. The Colorful S101 NewYork netbook? That's a special edition Asus S101 with a dash of colors and is made in New York City… right? Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
It's actually a pretty basic looking netbook made by a Chinese company called Colorful. It has a 1024×600 10-inch display, 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor, 160GB hard drive and up to 2GB of RAM. It also boasts a built-in accelerometer–yes, the same one that helped make Apple's iPod touch and iPhone famous–that enables auto-rotation of the display when the netbook is held in portrait mode and automatic shutdown when the netbook is detected to be in freefall. Pretty nifty, right? Right. It's probably going to be a bit hard to get one of these outside of China, though.
