As netbook sales continue to grow, hardware and software vendors are battling to exploit this relatively new market.

Meanwhile, Google has promised a new netbook operating system in time for holiday sales next year, while computer vendors such as Asus, Dell and Lenovo are jostling to get their slice of the networking pie.
