Update #2 – May 28, 2008 – The Dell 500 is not the machine you were looking for. The 8.9-inch Dell Sub-notebook is referred to as the Dell Mini Inspiron
Update: (12:03am, April 23) This may not be it – I was sent an e-mail from somebody who wishes to remain anonymous stating that the Dell 500 would have a larger footprint and would not be ultraportable. If we find out anything else, we’ll be sure to post it.
A few weeks ago, we reported on several comments (including some from Michael Dell himself) that were made about a new netbook/subnotebook style device to be sold by Dell, that would be comparable to the 8.9-inch HP 2133 Mini-Note.
