Sylvania has created the “Sylvania g netbook MESO”. This means that it may be coming to Walmart.

Sylvania, one of the TV brands featured at Wal-Mart, just announced that it will be entering the netbook market with the webcam-enabled 8.9″ LED-backlit “Sylvania g netbook MESO.” .The rest of the specs seem in line with what we’ve seen from other entrants — 1.6 GHz Intel Atom, 2.2 lbs, multi-card reader. It will be available with an 80 GB hard drive running XP Home or Ubuntu Netbook Remix. The MESO will follow the VIA C7-based Sylvania g that the company has offered. with gOS.

In addition to the onyx picture colored, it will be available in snow, solar and blossom, known to the less marketing-oriented as white, yellow and pink. Sylvania’s entry is but one of a number of these products that we’ll be seeing from nontraditional PC companies in the coming months. In addition to technology, it looks like distribution will be a key differentiation point for these products. But even at $299, the market dynamics will be much different than they were for companies hoping to repeat the success of digital picture frames this holiday season.

Wouldn’t it be cheaper for you if you just got rid of the Windows option?

UPDATE: Sorry for the hasty post, and not getting facts straight. Just because Sylvania is making it, doesn’t mean that Walmart will be selling it.
