Samsung's first netbook offering called the NC10 won praise from reviewers for its good keyboard and other aspects. If rumors prove true, the NC10 could be getting a big brother in February called the NC20. Taking a page form Dell's Book, Samsung is said to be readying a 12-inch netbook for market.

The NC20 is said to feature a 12.1-inch screen, VIA Nano U225 CPU at 1.3GHz, 160GB of storage and 1GB of memory. If these specs are accurate, this could be one of the first netbooks to use the VIA Nano processor, one of the challengers to the Intel Atom. Update: Samsung NC20 unveiled.

The netbook reportedly runs on Windows XP and will have Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and a 1.3MP webcam. Pricing is said to be around $640 for those in the US. Honestly, at that price, this notebook will be a bit of a tough sell in my opinion.
