Dell Introduces Location-Based Features for Mini 10 Netbook

Dell’s new business plan has taken some hints from the age-old mantra of real estate – location, location, location. The PC giant’s new location-based netbook program may garner it far more buyers for its Inspiron Mini line.

The plan involves selling Dell Mini 10 netbooks with features like GPS tracking and a Google Maps-style business finder. Other Dell netbooks could receive the new features as well.

Hopefully, Dell will be able to differentiate its netbooks from the machines of competitors like HP, Acer, and ASUS. Second only to HP in computer sales, the new changes by Dell could have wide-reaching effects.

Location-based services got a major boost in eminence since the release of the eternally useful iPhone. Combined with 3G internet, Dell’s Inspiron Mini 10 netbooks could become a new generation of take-anywhere devices.
