it is true they are "Becoming" Big enough to scare some people but not Microsoft yet because Android is not OUT yet for Laptops or Netbooks or Desktops!!!

I have Ubuntu on my Dell laptop. The out of the box broadcom drivers didn't work, but using the set available at that website was painless to set up. Give it a shot. It's let me use Ubuntu as my full-up main operating system with XP virtualized using virtualbox.org.

Also, have you tried to update the flash plugins available for linux?

I use my Dell Mini 9 (running OS X) every day and I love it. It's a great machine to curl up with on the couch or in bed for chatting or browsing. I think 10-12" netbooks are probably the sweet spot for most people and will be around for a long time. ]]>May 20th 2009 6:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/dells-mini-10v-shown-running-a-plethora-of-operating-systems-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/dells-mini-10v-shown-running-a-plethora-of-operating-systems-c/May 20th 2009 8:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/dells-mini-10v-shown-running-a-plethora-of-operating-systems-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/dells-mini-10v-shown-running-a-plethora-of-operating-systems-c/May 20th 2009 8:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/dells-mini-10v-shown-running-a-plethora-of-operating-systems-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/dells-mini-10v-shown-running-a-plethora-of-operating-systems-c/

It will take a long time to switch users over and google is going to have to charge something eventually as well make something that can install everyday product. Even most of the new generation doesnt have a clue about Open Source. To them OSX is mind blowing.

I really don't see why you'd choose it over XP or Linux - so why the excitement? As I said earlier, I'm not trolling - I'm just not sure what I'm missing here!]]>May 20th 2009 9:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/dells-mini-10v-shown-running-a-plethora-of-operating-systems-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/dells-mini-10v-shown-running-a-plethora-of-operating-systems-c/
XP, obviously, is very expensive for the OEMs, and that expense get past onto the Consumer.

A full Linux install chews up the battery much more quickly than Android. Smaller battery also equals lower cost.

As far as apps go, you seem a little stuck on the now negligible value of locally installed, OS specific application - those are extinct. Google Gears makes web apps equal to, if not greater than, local installs, in the context of low cost net books.]]>May 20th 2009 10:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/dells-mini-10v-shown-running-a-plethora-of-operating-systems-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/dells-mini-10v-shown-running-a-plethora-of-operating-systems-c/
I wish my iPhone had an oval clock!
Android is so much better then the iPhone OS!
Maybe someone can make an app with an oval clock?!
Maybe iPhone OS 3.0 will have an oval clock??
Who cares about copy&paste, give us an oval clock!

Round clocks have jumped the shark!
Oval clock FTW!!!!!!11!!!!
'But does it have an oval clock' is the new 'But will it play Crysis?'.


But seriously; am I the only one bothered by the 'stretched diplay'? The local PC resellers here all have these nice widescreen displays, but all of them have these stretched icons of demo movies with stretched people in them.
That's just stupid.

The new back is a step back that puts where it should be: a logical evolution of the mini9 .

Since when a pc manufacturer has to prove that their pcs work with linux?Why they show Android if they are not working on it?

The hidden message is "Mini10v is a good hackintosh".
Obviously they cannot invite people to break OSX license showing a video of OSX installed on a Dell.
