Notebook Italia appear to be showing the new Sony Vaio P range, the Sony Vaio P21 and the Sony Vaio P29.

It is believed the Sony Vaio P21 will have an Intel Atom Z520 from 1.33GHz and 2GB of RAM, just like the previous models, but offer a larger hard disk 80GB.

It is also believed that the Sony Vaio P29 will continue to have an SSD drive of 128GB, 2GB of DDR2 memory and US15W chipset. But potentially the most exciting is that the Sony Vaio P29 could have the new Atom processor series Z.

Oh you didn’t know? Well you can download Windows 7 legally from Microsoft on a 1 year trial.

But wait how do you get it onto your netbook? Well PC World has given 3 ways to install software such as Windows 7.

1) Buy a USB DVD drive. This is by far the easiest solution, and it’ll simplify installing any other software you may have on CDs or DVDs.

2) If you have a USB flash drive with at least 4GB of storage, you can make it bootable using the open-source Live USB Helper utility, then use the free Daemon Tools Lite to “mount” the ISO file to the drive.

3) If you have an external hard drive, you can copy the ISO to it and boot from it, just like the with flash drive. Okay, it’s a little more involved than that, but this is definitely the easiest method that doesn’t involve buying a DVD drive.

BlackBerry Netbook…… well not in the near future, if you listen to co-CEO Jim Balsillie.

RIM’s co-CEO Jim Balsillie hassaid that the company will stay focused on their smartphones.

Balsillie wants instead to focus on diversifying their current range of handsets.

“It’s got to be something that lasts the better part of the day and you can hold up to your ear and clip onto your belt. Those are a very tight systems constraints for a netbook. If you want richer keyboards and richer displays you can just use peripherals and Bluetooth.”
