The new device is expected to start selling through the operator's channels as soon as Sunday, November 22 is here, and should offer users fast access to AT&T's 3G network, as well as to the largest Wi-Fi network in the U.S., not to mention the experience of running Microsoft’s Windows 7 platform.

Other features of the new netbook include the AT&T Communication Manager (ACM) 7.0, which comes with a user-friendly interface, allowing customers to manage their connections and usage in a much simpler manner.
