InformationWeek | at | by Mike

Dell on Tuesday said it would unveil its first mini-notebook this week, officially taking on Hewlett-Packard and others in the emerging market for sub-10-inch, ultra-light laptops.

Other than confirming the new product's scheduled introduction, a Dell's spokeswoman declined to provide details on what's probably the worst kept secret on the Web. Gadget enthusiast sites have been leaking details on the device, expected to be called the Inspiron Mini 9, for the last couple of weeks. The launch date could be as early as Thursday.
