Well, there will be no more hardware for Jolicloud users here on the JoliOnMini page… Dell has officially killed off the Inspiron Min line of netbooks… probably in favor of more tablets.
Dell has released the starting price for the Inspiron Duo. You may remember, that the Inspiron Duo is Dell’s netbook that turns into a tablet via a pivoting screen.
Specs include:
Dell’s price…. $549.99
The folks at Jolicloud have been busy. They’ve recently shown the new launcher for Jolicloud 1.1:

Dell has made official a new Inspiron will be added to it’s lineup. It’s called the Dell Inspiron Duo. This new model will have netbook like specs (Dual Core Atom N550, 10″ screen), will be running Windows 7 Premium (not Starter), and will have a reversible screen that will transform from a netbook to a tablet in a way not like any other tablet PC before. Take a look:

Two pieces of Dell news in the past few days:
The removal of the 10v is troublesome for those who wanted to make a hackintosh out of the 10v, but with the 1012 out there (especially with Broadcom’s HD accellerator) there doesn’t seem to be a huge demand for the 10v anymore. RIP 10v.
The 7 & 10 inch tablets might be because of the recent success of ipad, but who knows, maybe Jolicloud could revolutionized the touch screen linux area just as they are trying with netbooks.
As of now, no official word from Jolicloud on any touchscreen support in the near future.
Dell has added a new option to the Mini 10. Only available on the newest 10, the 1012 (with the latest Atom Pinetrail), the Broadcom Crystal HD Accelerator card is now available.
Broadcom’s Crystal HD Accelerator card will allow for HD playback with the latest version of Flash – 10.1 Beta 3.
The folks over at Engadget have a nice review from a preview of this new machine.
Complete Dell specs are available on the Dell Order pages.

Our good friends over at Liliputing have put together their first thoughts on the newest member of the Dell Inspiron Mini line – the Dell Mini 10.
But they Mini 10 has been out for over a year now, right? Yes, by name, but this is the newest version with a Atom N450 series processor, and GMA 3150 graphics.

Over at MyDellMini, a very observant member caught Dell’s mistake listing a Dell Mini 11.
Rumor is that machine would be very similar to the Alienware m11x, but probably without nVidia graphics.
