Or say the folks over at Lenovo. In any case, fans of the original Lenovo IdeaPad S10 netbook might be interested.

The S10-2 will come in two variants: The $349 one features a 89%-sized keyboard, an Atom N270 processor, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, a 160GB hard disk, an integrated 1.3 megapixel webcam, WiFi up to 802.11g, and a 6-cell battery, all running on Windows XP Home. The $399 variant has the same specs, but is 3G capable through an Ericsson transceiver. And yes, no Bluetooth is available on either build, if Lenovo’s publicity materials are correct.
Both variants will also feature a 10.1″ screen, a “multi-touch” touchpad, 3 USB 2.0 ports, and a 4-in-1 card reader. A most notable feature is VeriFace, which will supposedly recognize the user’s face as login credentials. Fingerprint readers are so 2008 indeed!
Somewhat uncharacteristic for Lenovo is the S-10 2’s availability in four colors: black, white, grey, and pink (the 3G version will only be available in black, and the pink looks more like lilac actually). Release of the Lenovo IdeaPad S10-2, according to the press release, is set for “this summer”.
