Riding the inexorable tide of cheap, small laptops, two more players--Toshiba and Fujitsu--have unveiled netbooks for rollout in the United States market. The 10.1-inch offerings from both companies will join various models already on sale from the likes of HP, Dell, Asus, Acer and Lenovo.

Toshiba is touting the Mini NB205 netbook, which comes in two different models. The differences are mostly cosmetic, though the more expensive model uses the slightly faster N280 processor, which clocks in at 1.66GHz. They retail at $399 and $349 respectively.

On the other hand, Fujitsu America has decided to focus on the educational market with its M2010 netbook. Running on the 1.6GHz N270 processor, it is capable of supporting up to 2GB of RAM. Depending on configuration, the price of the M2010 netbook starts at $449.
