ASUS AND DISNEY TEAM UP FOR CHILDRENS NETBOOK

Its not everyday Disney makes a succesful bid for the control of your kids tech lives. And so far most of what we have seen has fallen way below the success line. But it seems they might have just hit the jackpot as GadgetMix.com is reporting that Disney is working with ASUS to bring a netbook geared specifically towards kids.

The color choices will be limited with "Princess Pink" and "Magic Blue" as the starting colors. There will also Micky Mouse icons available for the netbooks.

On the software end, the device will come packed with a Disney interface (Linux derived), as well as parental controls and such. There will be themes available form Toy Story (third installment of the film coming next year), Wall-E and of course Mickey Mouse as well as other themes.

The specs don't say much though as it comes with the standard 8.9-inch Eee PC screen, 16GB of SSD or 160GB HDD and your usual 1GB of RAM. Release date is yet to be finalized but if you are interested in picking one of these bad boys up when they become available, be willing to dish otu three Benjamin's and a Grant (hence $350).
