Dell flashes 12 incher at Japanese

About six weeks ago I was writing about how Tesco, the British supermarket giant, had slipped up and put details of a 12 inch Dell netbook on its website. At the time, the Tesco website had some details of the specs and a note saying "available week commencing 6th October." Now it seems that Tesco got it kind of half right in getting it all wrong. Dell has finally come clean and released the Inspiron Mini 12 into the Japanese market. No word of any US or European launch date, but you can imagine that these will follow by the end of the year or early next at latest.
