MSI announced its Wind U110 ECO netbook just yesterday, and accompanied the release with a spec sheet that stated ATI Mobility Radeon HD graphics.

Sounded good to us - and to our readers, too - but, as it turns out, the mention of ATI graphics was merely a typo. Today, that very same spec sheet has been reevaluated and now makes no mention of ATI parts - leaving the once interesting Wind U110 ECO with nothing more than Intel's integrated graphics.

It's a typo that'll leave would-be buyers sorely disappointed, but hey, typoes do happen from time to time. The good news is that MSI's claimed nine-hour battery life now seems feasible, and the Wind U110 ECO is likely to be well priced, we reckon.

Disappointed? Yes, a LITTLE

But this is a great piece of news - the first shipping (realistically available) Poulsbo netbook. Poulsbo is supposed to be HD capable (not Intel usual crap) as well as lower power consumption than 945GSE

I'm hoping we will get WindTops and EeeBoxes with Poulsbo for better always-on computing
This little glitch is surely going to cost them custom.
