Dell has finally released a few glimpses on their upcoming Eee 900 competitor, called the Dell E (name subject to change). The Dell E sports an 8.9 inch display with three variations of configurations: Dell E, E Video, and E Video+, with one increasing the specifications respectively. Dell is also launching a second MID, the Dell E Slim, with a larger 12.1 inch display and two configurations: E Slim, and E Slim+. Both devices will run Linux and Windows XP.

Other emerging ULCPC options featuring the Atom processor, apart from the Dell E and Asus EEEPC 901 (EEPC 900 model still uses a celeron), are the MSI Wind and the Acer Aspire One. AFAIK all of them offer a Linux option, and only the Asus EEEPC has the artificially-constrained Xandros offering.
Plenty of choice is emerging in this market, which will tend to make pricing become more agressive as the choices increase. Hold off for a month or two before the market settles down a bit.
