Despite owning a huge chunk of the growing Netbook market, the Acer Aspire One has been saddled with a 9-inch screen, rather than the bigger 10-inch type we prefer. Well, wait no more, Acer is now unveiling a 10-inch model, and even better, keeping the price starting at $349 (not that it's a bad Netbook, but the Aspire One is one of the most popular Netbooks largely because it's often $50-$100 cheaper than similarly configured competing systems).
