Dell is now officially involved with China Mobile to supply a 3G version its Dell Inspiron mini 10 netbook. This is potentially a big deal for Dell because if China Mobile subsidizes a portion of the netbook’s cost (this is what we expect), the volumes could turn out to be great. The good news doesn’t stop there: Dell has also managed to get deals with Vodaphone in multiple regions and AT&T in the US , among other things. This is no small accomplishment in a space where low-cost is king.
