Dell Mini 10v With Broadcom Crystal HD En Route

Topic:

Yet another overhaul is coming to Dell's Mini 10v platform. In addition to the new Intel Pine Trail processor, coming February customers will also have the option of choosing a Mini 10v equipped with a Broadcom Crystal HD accelerator. That allows the tiny netbook to handle the full HD videos that its dinky little Atom processor would normally be unable to handle.

Engadget reports that this new Dell netbook will cost $425. Not a bad price for an HD-ready netbook. Reviewers note that 1080p plays smoothly through the Broadcom accelerator, although the glossy screen makes picking the right viewing angle difficult at times.

The manufacturer just sent out a press release announcing the new mobile's availability. The idle rich (and the ultra-stylish) can pick up the Xperia Pureness now from www.saks.com for just $990.

Sure, you could purchase an unlocked Droid and cover around 6 months of data bills for that kind of scratch. But then you couldn't be a part of the "debate about people's relationship with technology in a complex world'. So, uh, there's that.
