CES: No Netbook Love From Toshiba

A few reporters back from the first day of CES 2009 are finding a conspicuous lack of something we were all kind of looking forward to – a new Toshiba netbook.

Toshiba’s early entrant to the netbook market, the Toshiba NB100, was a sleek machine with some great specs and a competitive price. However, there hasn’t been a followup thus far, leading us to wonder if Toshiba didn’t like the reception its netbook received back in November.

The USB press kit supplied by Toshiba contained only “TVs, TV/DVD combos, and stand alone players.” For now, we’ll wait, but the situation may change as CES goes on. Who knows – maybe Toshiba wants to make some noise later in the game.

Another entrant with no netbook was LG.

As always, we’ll keep you up to date as CES 2009 continues.
