Intel Atom N450 netbooks coming January 11th

All of the usual suspects, including Asus, Acer, Lenovo and MSI are all ready to launch Atom N450 netbooks as soon as Intel gives the go ahead. Many of them had planned to launch the new devices ahead of Christmas, but Intel wouldn't have it. This might seem like a foolish business decision by Intel, but the new Atom netbooks are unlikely to be such huge improvements over the current models that there will be massive demand from day one.
