There’s a certain glamour to the netbook. They come in bright, flighty colors and offer the promise of fun, of computing on the go. Nobody ever thinks of slipping a netbook into a briefcase. Its natural home is a purse or a manbag.

But now Epson, the glitz-free printer maker, is in on the game. The Endeavor Na01 might sound like a Star Trek spaceship, but it’s all dull grey plastic, all of the time. Internally it differs not a jot from the standard netbook — 1.6GHz Atom processor, triple USB ports, 10.2 inch screen, 160GB HDD and XP home. You know the rest.

We’re not sure exactly how Epson did it, but it managed to make the Na01 look like a late 90s Compaq or Dell. If the picture above doesn’t look so bad to you, check out the photo below, snapped by EeePC news. How much for this fugly slab? ¥46800, or around $480.
