Your new best friend, Dell's Inspiron Mini 9, is now on sale

Gizmodo has led the way on reporting Dell's subnotebook/mini-note/netbook, and now it has full details. As expected, it features a 1.6GHz Intel Atom (Diamondville) processor, a 1024 x 600 8.9 inch LED screen and solid state drive (4, 8 or 16GB). It says: "Only the Windows XP version is available now for $399, in black or white -- the $349 Ubuntu flavor, along with the rest of the six-color rainbow are a few weeks away."

Dell says the Ubuntu 8.04 version will have a "custom Dell interface (coming soon)".

Dimensions & Weight Width: 9.13" (232mm) Height: 1.07" (27.2mm) front / 1.25" (31.7mm) back Depth: 6.77" (172mm)

The UK version is black only, and Windows XP only, so far, and costs "from £299" including VAT and delivery.
