If you’ve been paying attention to All Things D, the chatty technology “event” headed by the WSJ’s “Uncle” Walt Mossberg, you may have come across a Gizmodo entry where Brian Lam got to take a look at Michael Dell’s lappy. It turns out that the lappy in question is the upcoming Dell Mini-Inspiron. There are no specs at all, but from the image to the left you can see that its damn small. I’m going to guess that its going to run a Linux-based OS, have an Intel Atom or VIA C7M processor, possibly 2GBs of RAM, ship with an 80GB drive and have SSDs as an option, and will likely feature Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, though there will probably be a WiMAX option. Pricing is going to be sub-$500 and there appears to be no exact availability information.
