Calling it an Internet companion, Dell maintains that the Mini 9 can be fine-tuned to fit users' specific needs. With a starting weight of 2.28 lbs, the Mini 9 features a durable design, with sealed keyboard, solid state drive (SSD) memory storage, an 8.9-inch glossy LED display (1024x600) and standard built-in Wi-Fi, webcam and Bluetooth.
Dell has teamed up with Box.net to offer exclusive web-based file storage, access and sharing to Inspiron Mini users, including a free Basic plan with 2GB of remote storage space, expandable to 25GB.
The Inspiron Mini will include a direct link to a Dell-exclusive home page on Box.net, providing users with a way to add incremental online storage space to manage their digital lives. Individuals can upload files of any type to their Box, including photos, videos, music, documents and presentations, and then access those files from almost anywhere on any device.
Box.net's service requires no software to download. With its OpenBox platform, Box.net enables people to edit documents and photos directly from their web-browser and post media to their blog or social networks, further enhancing the mobility and user experience on the Inspiron Mini.
Individuals have a choice of two colors for the device - Obsidian Black or Alpine White. They can also choose between Windows XP or Ubuntu 8.04. The Inspiron Mini with Windows XP Home is available immediately starting at $399.
Inspiron Mini devices featuring an intuitive Dell-developed custom interface are expected to be available in a few weeks with a starting price of $349.
The device also has an entire line of custom "Designed for Dell" backpacks, messenger bags and convertible cases from merchants including Timbuk2, though they are currently available in the United States, Canada and Europe only.
The Dell Inspiron Mini 9 is available now on www.dell.com/mini in the U.S., Japan and select countries in Europe. Availability elsewhere will be handled on a country-by-country basis.
