With the Mobile World Congress in full swing, Samsung has a long list of launches in store for techies all over the world. This one, however, might be one of the more interesting ones — Samsung’s first-ever LTE (Long Term Evolution) 4G netbook.

The LTE 4G netbook is basically an upgraded Samsung N150 netbook. It’s still the same 10-inch ultraportable, and it doesn’t lose the specs it used to have, such as its 1.66GHz Pine Trail-era Atom processor, storage space up to 250GB, 1GB RAM, and an 8.5-hour battery (with the 4G turned off).

The difference is that the LTE 4G netbook sports Samsung’s new 4G chipset, dubbed “Kalmia.” Developed by Samsung itself, Kalmia is capable of 100Mbps download speeds. Pretty good, although it remains to be seen how the increased data transfer speeds will interact with the rest of the system components.

Samsung’s marketing strategy with regards to the new LTE 4G netbook is also a little unclear at this point, and that’s understandable — a clear roll-out schedule for 4G technology is not known. Nevertheless, the US will likely be seeing the LTE netbook later this year (carried by Verizon), followed by Canada (Bell and Telus).
