VF Portugal has launched a new mobility proposition called NetPC, which consists of a “Vodafone (NYSE: VOD) Connect” Pen, and an Ultra-compact Laptop (is that a UCLP?!). The hardware consists of a EeePC701 Laptop, and USB Modem, allowing surfing up to 7.2Mbps. The version that VF is pushing is the GUI-Linux EeePC that we’ve reported on before, but there’s also a Windows XP version available.
Costs: with an 18-month contract, and GUI-Linux on the EeePC, it’s 199.90 EUR. With XP on the EeePC it is 229.90 EUR.
