Netbook manufacturers to come out with 11.6-inch models?

Netbook manufacturers are trying to blur the line between the smaller sized netbooks and conventional notebooks. The 8.9-inch screen was a standard which was quickly followed by 10-inch and now companies are looking to up the ante with 11.6-inch screen size. According to Digitimes, LCD panel producers are preparing themselves from the sudden surge they may face with the demand of 11.6-inch panels. Asus and Acer are expected to be the first ones to bring the change. Maybe this could be Acer’s 11.6-incher?
