You may see many guys on the street sporting pink t-shirts nowadays but also in the netbook world has it become a color of choice for many brands. Who can forget the recent blatent attempts at cashing in on Valentine’s Day by MSI and Samsung?

Valentine’s Day may be over but we now have an even pinker netbook to look forward to courtesy of Archos. The Archos 10 hasn’t been out long, available for merely a week but is already getting a pink color option. In all seriousness, this looks far more interesting than the bland black design we’ve seen.

Specs-wise, it is exactly the same as the black version, with a 10.2-inch screen (1024×600), 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 processor, 1GB of RAM, 160 GB hard drive, and Windows XP Home. $50 credit towards a purchase inthe Archos Media Store is also included.

Unfortunately, there seems to be very little to get excited about and barring any surprises, it will just join the recent chain of developers trying to cash in on the netbook craze with a generic model. The Archos 10 as it is labelled has a basic, dull design and predictable specs – a 10.2-inch screen (1024×600), 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor, 1GB of RAM, 160 GB hard drive, and Windows XP Home.

3-cell and 6-cell batteries will be available with the Archos 10 and it looks like it’ll be available in two fittingly mundane color choices: black and white. Pricing and availability remain unknown, but more details are expected to emerge very soon, hopefully with a surprise or two that can try to attempt to distinguish this netbook from the million others hitting the market at a frantic pace.

Apparently, Archos is preparing its own netbook that will sport a 10.2-inch display, USB ports, a flash card reader, and others bits and pieces. Not much else is known about it yet, including its main specs (RAM, hard drive, etc.).

What is particularly interesting about this is that Archos don’t even make computers, being known for their portable music and video players, so that they are making a netbook is interesting and quite telling about how hot the market is right now.
