Not long after rumors of Dell's Eee PC-like notebook have surfaced the web, a fan site has been created to keep interested users informed about anything related to the Inspiron Mini. At the moment, the blog-like website has only two posts, one of which announces Dell's Eee PC killer.

As most of you know, ASUSTek is responsible for the high number
of manufacturers that are today offering sub-notebook products. Its Eee PC was embraced by the general public with a rather unexpected enthusiasm, which made the Taiwanese company further develop the concept and bring more functions to its ultra portable computer. Because of this success, a number of small and large manufacturers have released their own version of an Eee PC-like notebook. For the time being, MSI's Wind appears to be the most powerful competitor to ASUS' Eee PC.

However, that might change if Dell releases its Inspiron Mini, which was "accidentally" discovered by a journalist in the hands of none other than Michael Dell. With a bright red sleek looking design, the Mini Dell sub-notebook might just be what the Eee PC fans have been waiting for. The only problem is that the release of the notebook is as uncertain as its technical specifications are. At this point, users can only speculate on the product's capabilities to provide a better performance than ASUS' next Eee PC, which is expected for a Computex release.

The only thing that seems to be certain is that Dell plans to target the Inspiron Mini at developing countries. This is exactly what the writers of the Inspiron Mini unofficial website don't want. According to a recent post, they are asking Dell to release the new Eee PC-like notebook on the mass-market. The writers even hold a strong belief that the candy-red ultra portable, which has been discovered in Michael Dell's hands, as we already mentioned, is a little too shiny for third world countries.

Still, Dell's product is far from being an official thing, but we are probably going to read a lot more about it in the weeks to come.
