The executive estimates that holiday PC sales should jump about 25 percent versus last year, when the economic crash hurt sales, but that they should only be flat compared to this summer. Much of the forecast was calculated after gauging the feature set early on.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/26/acer.sees.win.7.as.modest.help/ Thu, 26 Nov 2009 16:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/25/dell.fcc.post.hints.at.future.10in.netbook/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/dellinspironmini10v-sm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Dell could be planning a significant revision to its Mini 10 netbook if an FCC filing (PDF) is a clue. The testing for a seemingly nondescript 802.11n Wi-Fi mini-card makes reference to a 10-inch system with the model number P04T, which isn't known to apply to any current shipping Dell notebook. Few other details are available.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/25/dell.fcc.post.hints.at.future.10in.netbook/ Wed, 25 Nov 2009 23:10:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/23/gartner.sees.pc.sales.back.up.in.2009/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/aceraspireoned250-android.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The economy has bounced back quickly enough that the computer business will have seen a slight boost this year, Gartner said in a study published on Monday. The analyst group estimates that shipments will have overall climbed 2.8 percent in 2009 to about 298.9 million computers. It marks a sharp reversal from a forecast as late as September that had computers sinking 2 percent. A recovery of th... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/23/gartner.sees.pc.sales.back.up.in.2009/ Mon, 23 Nov 2009 17:20:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/23/dell.mini.3i.ships.with.unfair.edge/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/dellmini3i-china.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Dell's Mini 3i is shipping to China with a possible unfair competitive advantage against the iPhone. The Android phone should be available by the end of the month through China Mobile's retail partners and later through Dell's own site. As expected, it will drop 3G and Wi-Fi due to the government-backed carrier's preferences but will still have a 640x360 capacitive touchscreen, GPS, Bluetooth an... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/23/dell.mini.3i.ships.with.unfair.edge/ Mon, 23 Nov 2009 13:30:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/19/dell.hurt.by.acer.corporate.fears/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/delladamoxps.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Dell today posted disappointing results for its latest quarter ended in October. The company saw its year-over-year revenue drop 15 percent to about $12.9 billion and its net income drop even further, falling 54 percent to $337 million. Both decreases were blamed on poor results both in the public sector and in its staple home PC business, where its shipments were up about 17 percent compared to... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/19/dell.hurt.by.acer.corporate.fears/ Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/19/dell.studio.17.touch.appears/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/dellstudio17touch.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Dell today quietly slipped the Studio 17 Touch into its lineup as its first touchscreen notebook. The 17-inch system adds multi-touch input and carries Dell's own suite of touch apps, such as its photo browser. Most of the design remains the same and is treated as a desktop replacement and media center hybrid with a 2.1-channel JBL speaker system and HDMI output.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/19/dell.studio.17.touch.appears/ Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:00:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/18/models.offer.color.trim.two.sided.printing.touch/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/dellsml.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Dell on Wednesday introduced six new inkjet all-in-one printers geared for home and business use. All of the models feature print speeds of up to 33 pages per minute in monochrome or 25 pages per minute in color. Monochrome copy speeds are claimed to reach 25 pages per minute, with color copies processed as fast as 21 pages per minute. All "w" variants feature integrated wireless connectivity, whi... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/18/models.offer.color.trim.two.sided.printing.touch/ Wed, 18 Nov 2009 23:20:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/18/intel.suit.contained.mistakes.says.ombudsman/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/intel22nm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The European Ombudsman has reprimanded European Union regulators on Wednesday for mistakes in its antitrust probe of Intel. In his report, ombudsman P. Nikiforos Diamandouros said the Commission failed to make a proper record of its meeting with Dell in relation to the Intel investigation. The note did not conclude whether or not the EU anti-trust body infringed Intel's rights of defense.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/18/intel.suit.contained.mistakes.says.ombudsman/ Wed, 18 Nov 2009 22:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/17/adamo.xps.ships.dec.22.ready.to.order/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/delladamoxps-2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Dell today at last began taking orders for the Adamo XPS teased over the past several months. The system comes in just one default configuration and color, arriving for $1,799 with a 1.4GHz Core 2 Duo, 4GB of RAM and a 128GB solid-state drive loaded with Windows 7 Home Premium. Contrary to earlier reports, the system will use just Intel's GMA 4500 graphics instead of NVIDIA hardware.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/17/adamo.xps.ships.dec.22.ready.to.order/ Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:30:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/17/dell.minis.to.ship.in.bamboo.packaging/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/dellmini10-bamboobox.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Dell today boasted an industry first by becoming the first to ship its computers in bamboo packaging. The Mini 10 and 10v will have boxes made primarily of the more efficient material, which regrows much faster than the trees used for cardboard and is more easily renewable. As it takes as much stress as steel, it even provides more protection and replaces not just cardboard but also the foam nor... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/17/dell.minis.to.ship.in.bamboo.packaging/ Tue, 17 Nov 2009 16:45:00 GMT
