Dell’s 8.9-inch Vostro A90 has now hit US with a base price of $349, cheaper than its Japanese counterpart. It carries a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270, up to 1GB RAM and 16GB SSD, Intel GMA950 graphics, 802.11g, 0.3 megapixel webcam, 4-cell battery, and Windows XP Home Edition. No option of other OS.
There is a speculation that the santa will have the new MID from Nokia this year. This device will have a sliding keyboard and 4.2-inch display and may replace the current N810. No assumptions made on the size and battery life yet. But there is another interesting device called Nautilus (codename), which is said to have a ultra-thin touchscreen, a sensor to trigger the opening of a motorized ultra-thin keyboard with keys rising automatically for better feel! Sounds like a super cool device. Nautilus is expected to be in the market by mid 2010.
The SmartQ 5 MID is priced very low at a 899 Chinese Yuan (USD $132). It is powered by an ARM processor and features a 4.3 inch touchscreen display with a 800×480 resolution. Supports the necessary WiFi 802.11b/ga and Bluetooth connectivity and runs Ubuntu Linux. Pre-installed applications include the StarDict dictionary, FBReader ebook reader. I can also see a SD Card slot but no info yet.

Dell slips information about the Adamo 9 in a peculiar way! through its support documents.
Probably it will be an ultra-thin UMPC. Lets wait for more leaks.
