Dell has announced his new nebook Dell Inspiron Mini 12. The price supposed to be $599.

Dell Inspiron Mini 12 is a standard netbook – 1.6GHz Atom, smallish 40, 60 or 80GB hard drive, not a whole lotta RAM—though you’ve got a full-sized keyboard and 1280×800 12-inch screen. It’s only available with Vista at launch.

With a starting weight of only 2.72 lbs.1 and only 0.92 in. thick1, current standard features on the Inspiron Mini 12 include:

1. Windows Vista® Home Basic, built-in webcam, 1GB of RAM and a choice of 60 GB or 80 GB hard drive1, providing ample capacity for mobile applications, content creation and storage.
2. Built-in Bluetooth® and 802.11b/g wireless.
3. A sharp 12.1-inch WXGA display, offering wider viewing angles and exceptional brightness.
4. Dell provides a variety of service offerings and add-on options to help ensure devices are easy to use and maintain optimal performance, including:
5. Dell Support Center: Quickly access Dell service and support from an icon on your desktop that provides automated fixes, software upgrades and tools to help keep your system up-to-date and running efficiently.
6. DellConnect™ Remote Assistance1: Dell experts help diagnose and solve PC problems via an Internet connection (available only on Windows-based systems).

The Dell Inspirion Mini 12 is definitely an interesting mutant of netbook and notebook that might hit some heretofore undiscovered sweet spot, or simply look very attractive to some given the current economic climate.

On YouTube there were some video commercials of Apple ridiculed problems with the operational system Microsoft Vista. One of the spots, called “Bean Counter” sneer at very solid amount of advertising budget of the Microsoft, hinting that only a very small portion of that money will go to fix bugs with Vista. Another movie ridicules the same Vista which targeted choke word.

Both the video did not say a word about the benefits of MacOS, but rather immodest strike the reputation of Vista. Microsoft has so far refused to give any comments on these advertisements of Apple.

Surfing around the Engadget’s website i found the post dedicated to the new Macbook Pro 2008…And above you may see a possible photo of the new Macbook 2008 Pro.

Engadget declared that MacBook Pro will sport two Nvidia GPUs in possible a “hybrid SLI setup” it called “pretty wild.”

Apple said that they are ready to close the iTunes online store. The reason is: raise of commisions to be paid to musicians from 9 to 15 cents. Decision will be applied at Copyright Royalty Board (CRB).

Manager of iTunes store has declared that he is ready to close iTunes rather break the price for the song of 99 cents. 70 cents of this price get back to labeles, 9,1 goes to musicians and 29 cents belong to the Apple. Such commercial politics allowed Apple to sell more than 160 million copies of iPod.
