With the addition of the new netbook, the company's total netbook shipments will have a chance to break 500,000 units in 2008, and may reach 600,000 if MSI's cooperation with telecommunications operators goes well.MSI also unveiled it has no plans yet to create a Wind netbook with touchscreen as the price for such a system would be too high. The firm did confirm we can expect a second-generation Wind at CeBIT 2009, this netbook will offer several innovations.
MSI recently teamed up with Taiwan-based telco Vibo Telecom to bundle its 8.9-inch Wind U90 netbook with the Vibo's 3.5G services. The company is also in negotiations with local telecom providers in Europe to build similar cooperative deals.
