Netbooks have been super crazy popular this year, and next year the netbook market is expected to explode even larger. Me? I hate it because there are so many cool little gadgets out there now I can’t hope to ever find a need for all of them. One of the models I’ve been eyeing, though, is Dell’s little guy, which is now officially dubbed the Inspiron 910. It should have been something like Dell MicroNote or Dell PowerNote or something else cool instead of this [FAIL] from marketing. Of course, none of it really matters if Dell’s going down the tubes. The Giz said their sources were saying August 22nd, but here we are a week later a nothing. Ok, not nothing, but what we did hear is that Dell managed to lose about 17% of its value in one day or really, really bad trading. Dell chalks it up to falling system prices and the economy. Does that mean our new little favorite is going the way of the Palm Foleo? We’ll just have to wait and see. [Source: Gizmodo]
