Dell recently announced on its Direct2Dell blog that the customer can order for the Dell Mini 10 Netbook. But instead of heading to the Dell website when you place an order, you need to visit QVC.

First, the Dell Mini 10 will only be available through QVC, I think they wanted to try to draw the attention of the average person. Of course, they plan to work him on the regular Dell site, which already is scheduled for 26 February. Finally, is that the Mini 10 title can expect that the Netbook to start shipping out next month. ” As of now, the Mini 10 is only for those in the U.S. market, but it was pointed out that the world “in the future.”

Here is what you can expect with the Mini 10: It comes in black, white Aplin, pink promise, cherry red, ice blue or jade green. The Mini 10 will ship with a 3-cell battery and a choice of either an Atom Z520 or Z530 Atom processor.

Other features of the Mini 10 and 1 GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive, 802.11g Wi-Fi, 1.3 megapixel webcam, HDMI out, three USB ports, an Ethernet jack, a four-in-one card reader and a row and a mic-in port. The Mini 10 has a 10-inch display with the first models with a resolution of 1024 x 576th They are also planning a 720p display in the future. Currently, the operating system is Windows XP, with a future option allows the user to choose Ubuntu Linux.

The word Netbook is a general term that many consumers and computer manufacturers have since 2007 to describe the hordes of small, cheap notebooks on the market. Intel uses the term in advertising, like many other manufacturers such as Dell. I have a few weeks back that Psion was successful in proving to Google that they owned the trademark on the term Netbook.

Dell stands for the right to use the term Netbook together with all others with an application to claims that the mark Psion is not good. According to Dell, the brand is not good for three reasons. Dell says that Psion has the brand and does not intend to bona fide trade with the brand.

Dell also says that Psion was fraudulent in its application to the mark, because Psion used false pretenses to the mark, which is knowingly false statements and a false model of the product. The last reason is that Dell says the term is now generally accepted in the industry and consumers to describe a class of small and low-cost notebooks. I have with Dell, it seems, Psion Just wait until the word was popular Netbook and is now trying to some money from an old brand.
