Dell has released a new member of it’s popular Inspiron Mini line, the Mini 12. The netbook is only available in Japan, but that will change soon. The computer comes with either a 1.3 GHz Atom Z520 processor or a 1.6GHz Atom Z530 processor. It can sport a hard drive up to 80GBs. It has 1GB of RAM, bluetooth functionality and WiFi. There is also a 12-inch 1280 x 800 display. Amazingly, it weighs only 2.72 pounds and is less than one inch thick.

It hits the States late next month with a suggested retail price of somewhere just under $600. Early units will come shipped with Vista with XP and Ubuntu variants available by the end of the year. Click here for a Dell press release and here for a hands-on report.

LG recently unveiled a double-sided LCD panel. The unit's display, as the name suggests, can be seen from both sides. It's also ultra-thin. ]]>

doublesidelcd LG unveils bizarre double sided LCD display

LG recently decided to show off their oft-rumored double-sided LCD panel. The display can be seen from both sides! Totally needless and cool. The unit is also skinnier than a supermodel. Alas, the company was just in "see what we can do" mode as no mention was made regarding release date or price.

Although it’s difficult to think of practical uses for the technology, it sure would help the world look more like a sci-fi movie. Utopian, not dystopian. That’s never a bad thing.
