Netbooks are growing, both in terms of popularity and size, and the DigiTimes has news from Acer of plans to release a new 10-inch version of its normally 8.9-inch Aspire One netbook. Scott Lin, Acer Taiwan president, tells us that this new version of the very popular netbook will be launched in either February or March of next year.

Specs for the 10-inch Aspire One haven’t been revealed, but will most likely be the same as the 8.9-inch version, just with a bigger model. Lin also said that prices on notebooks in Taiwan are dropping and expected to keep dropping into the New Year, and that could include netbooks.

Acer, as we reported at the start of November, wants a 50% share of the netbook market next year, and the release of the new 10-inch Aspire One gives the consumer more options when mulling over whether to buy a netbook. They are also considering the “nettop”, a mini-PC and the desktop equivalent of a netbook.
