Dell to offer GPS and location features on their Dell Mini 10 netbook

GPS and location based features have gained immense popularity in the latest smartphones, but Dell thinks both of these should also be there in their netbooks and that is the reason Dell is now offering them on its Mini 10 netbook.

All you have to do is to select “Dell Wireless 700 location solution” while customizing your Mini 10. According to Dell blogger, it will also come with turn-by-turn navigation, thanks to CoPilot navigation software.

“We’re betting that location services will be a hit in netbooks,” said Dell blogger Lionel Menchaca. “The Mini 10 is the first system that we’ll offer with the optional Dell 700 Wireless location solution. Stay tuned for more details about more supported systems.”

It is functional only in Windows XP, Vista and upcoming Windows 7. It won’t work in Linux OS.

Another proof of how popular the netbooks are – Total sales to reach 37% of total notebooks sales in 2009!

Nobody had thought 2 years back that the netbooks would become so popular. Last year, the netbooks had already conquered 20% of the total notebook market. This year, it is being estimated that netbooks will account for nearly 37% of the total notebook sales by the end of this year and about 40% by the year 2012(!).

However, by 2012, I don’t think there would be any difference based on the feature set between a notebook and netbook (except for the small size, of course).
