Acer uncloaks next-gen Atom netbook
Acer has released its first netbook based on Intel's latest Atom processor and Pine Trail platform, but as with Samsung's new next-gen lineup also announced today, don't expect to get your hands on one until later this month.

what is an inch?
1.25Kg and 10.17-by-7.28-by-.99 inches. Please pick just one unit system and stick to it, preferably something used after 1800.
Well alright then...
In what is probably the worl's most recent measurement system the little Acer's vital statistics are:
weight: 297.619 millijubs
width: 1.8451 linguine
depth: 1.3208 linguine
height: 0.1796 linguine
I don't thing the fact that it is less than 0.1814 linguine high is important but, as the article pointed out, being less than 1 inch high will mean many more sales in the US at least.

[1] the appearance of "milli" (or "micro" etc) implies the opposite of what you conclude --- namely that the measuring unit it too large for your purpose. Obviously. And kilo, mega, giga,... if it's too small for your purpose.

one thing I've learned about netbooks is...
... take the claims for battery life and cut them in half - that's what you'll actually get.
pinetrails already in stores isn't it?
Argos (of all places) are already selling the MSI Wind U130 which is all N450'd up. Can't find a single sodding review of it anywhere though :(
Why don't netbooks have exchangeable batteries?
The limiting factor on any mobile technology tends to be battery life, and DSLR cameras all have batteries that can be changed easily: if you expect to take a lot of shots, you take two - or three - fully charged batteries, and just change them as needed.
When will we see a netbook with the same system?
Huh?
Every netbook I've looked at, including the ones I've bought for myself and family, has featured user-removable batteries...
Chip architecture
Are these new Atoms 32-bit of x64 (what Microsoft amusingly dubs AMD64)?
