Here's an internal document detailing features of the Dell subcompacts that got "leaked" through Engadget a while ago: http://www.engadget.com/photos/dell-e-and-e-slim-revealed-taking-on-eee-and-air-in-one-fell-swoop/859922/ It's part of a gallery, and the other images/slides have interesting info as well. I've been following news on the subcompact front over at <http://liliputing.com>. -- Brad Beyenhof . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . http://augmentedfourth.com If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy.
