Dell will be holding a press conference tomorrow to announce some “new and exciting products”. One of those new products is most likely going to be their Mini Inspiron, which will be the first Dell Netbook.

The rumored specifications point towards a $299 Linux powered sub-notebook with an Intel Atom processor, 512MB of memory and a 4 or 8GB SSD drive. Beefier models will add more memory, Windows XP (or Vista) and a spinning hard drive.

All models are rumored to be equipped with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and an Expresscard slot.

It’s no secret THAT they’ll be introducing these machines, it’s just a matter of WHEN, so tomorrow seems as good a time as any, just in time to squeeze some more cash out of parents in the wacky “back to school” sales frenzy.

In my opinion, the Dell lineup, along with the recently announced netbook from Lenovo will probably deal a serious blow to firms like Asus, Everex and MSI who have been dominating this market for the past months.
