    The screen looks like an 8.9 maybe 10 inch. Definitely looks nice though. I keep hearing it is for developing countries, but I hope it gets released in the U.S too.

    Based solely on looks -- since we don't know any specs/price -- this instantly kills the Asus/Wind/MiniNote. That thing looks awesome.

    Most likely a 10 inch, considering the scale of the notebook compared to the hand in the first image, scaling the measurements I took from the pictures it sure appears to be a 10 inch.

    The 'Minspiron's aesthetics certainly look fantastic, especially if it can maintain that finish and still be competitively priced with the Eee and its ilk, but I just can't see myself wanting to type with just my pinkies; and that's exactly what would end up happening on something this dinky.

    In practice, I think the M1330 is probably as small as I'd want to go.
