In case you didn’t get the chance to buy your first netbook yet we have some good news for you. Dell’s Mini 9 has an 32GB SSD upgrade available for you. Unfortunately it costs $100 so maybe the news isn’t that great all of a sudden. I mean you’d buy a netbook because it’s small and very cheap right? for $100 you could very well get some sort of a HDD. Better yet, add a few more bucks and get an external HDD. That would be even more useful.

I thought this was another netbook launched by Dell when in fact it’s the same Mini 9 we’ve seen about a month ago. The Dell Vostro A90 it’s a netbook which will launched in Japan only for now, and it will cost around $972 which is way out of my league when it comes to netbook prices.

The price is preposterous considering the fact the A90 doesn’t bring anything new to the table. It’s the same Mini 9 inside a new case. Anyone readying this from Japan? What do you think?

Dell has recently launched its netbook line. The Inspiron Mini 9 entered the market a little late, but I am confident it will catch the competition soon. And Dell went ahead and made its netbook available with Linux OS but with a twist. If you want to choose Ubuntu 8.04 as your default operating system then you will automatically choose the 8GB SSD model. If you want more memory, better get a card or an external hard drive.

The Mini 9 Linux version costs £269 or $472 while the Windows XP version costs £299 or $525.

I guess Psystar fans should definitely see this. While the people who installed a running copy of Mac OS X aren’t trying to sell the tuned Dell Inspiron Mini 9 to anyone, this goes to prove that Appe’s OS could run on PC’s too. Imagine what would happen if Psystar wins it’s trial with Apple! Imagine how Microsoft will go all berserk if a judge will tell manufacturers that selling PC with Mac OS X will be ok! (more…)

You know you were waiting for this, and even though it’s not in the states, it sounds pretty cool. Vodafone has announced that they will begin offering Dell’s netbook, the Mini 9, with bundled 3G connectivity.

While users will be paying £25 per month (or about $45) for 1GB of transfers every month, Vodafone promises users of the bundle download speeds in the ranges of 1Mb/s and 5Mb/s. You obviously won’t be doing much torrenting, but you can check your emails damn fast!
