| Dell Inspiron Mini 10v Replaces Mini 9 Netbooks Posted: 02 Jun 2009 10:21 AM PDT Dell has discontinued its first netbook, Dell Inspiron Mini 9, which was launched just a few months back in September 2008, and is now recommending users try the new Dell Mini 10v instead. So if you want to buy Dell Netbooks, Dell Mini 9 is no longer available on their site. The Dell Mini 9 had launched recently in September 2008 - with a starting weight of 2.28 lbs, sealed keyboard, solid state drive (SSD) memory storage, 8.9 inch glossy LED display (1024×600), large keypads, built-in Wi-Fi, built-in Webcam and Bluetooth. Dell has also 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. Dell Mini 9 was earlier on sale for $349. Now Dell has retired the Dell Inspiron Mini 9 netbook and recommends users buy the Dell Mini 10v instead which is a better model, and available for a more competitive price of $299!
Check differences between the Dell Mini 10 & Mini 10v. The “v” in the 10v stands for value. In this video, Brian Pitstick from Dell’s netbook product team details some key features of Dell’s latest entry-level 10″ netbook, the Mini 10v, comapred to Dell Mini 9 and Mini 10. Related Posts

| Try Bing: New Microsoft Search Decision Engine Posted: 01 Jun 2009 11:27 AM PDT Bing is a new Microsoft search engine all ready to challenge Google in the lucrative search engine space. Apparently Bing has been quietly launched a few days earlier from the announced launch and is in preview and beta mode in various countries. Microsoft Bing promises a new approach to user experience and provides intuitive tools to help customers make better decisions like making a purchase decision, planning a trip, researching a health condition or finding a local business. Microsoft is calling Bing a Decision Engine, helping people make quick decisions. Take a tour. This is how Bing front page looks like in India. To test all the Bing features, it is a good idea to switch from the local country version to the “United States - English” version. Bing search results are as neat and accurate as Google. Here is the best feature for me - If you switch to the video channel and search for videos, the most amazing thing happens when you hover over the videos thumbnails - the videos autoplay! The videos loads instantly and with good video and sound quality, and you can sort them by length, size and resolutions. Test some videos here. This video shows a quick preview of what Bing can do. I am getting a lot of traffic from Bing… is the Google killer finally here? Related Posts
