Semantics: A netbook is a notebook powered by Intel’s Atom processor. A smartbook is supposed to be a notebook powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon, but many, including myself, have expanded the definition to include other ARM based processors.

Now that we have that out of the way, Sascha Pallenberg of netbooknews says: “a reliable Taiwanese source which is directly connected to a lot of smartphone-and upcoming smartbook-manufacturers told us today, that Sony-Ericsson is working on a new device, that will enter the market soon.”

Take it with a grain of salt, or a kilo of salt, or mountain of salt.
