Dell Ditches Netbooks

Posted by timothy on from the but-what-about-mega-ultra-super-ueber-books? dept.

angry tapir writes "Dell has ceased production of Inspiron Mini netbooks; in effect ending its pursuit of the receding netbook market, at least for consumer sales. When Dell ran through its stock of the netbooks several months ago, it declined to manufacture more units."

  1. The iPad Effect by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    It's not just Dell being affected by 'teh iPad!!!' Just look what else Apple's 'magical' device has caused to happen just this week:

    * Ron Paul's surging poll numbers in Iowa
    * The first signs of the Higgs Boson
    * Kobe Bryant's wife filing for divorce
    * The end of the Iraq war

    Just to name a few.

    Ask anyone at your local Starbucks and they will confirm its all true.
