Dell netbook release this week?

Wall Street Journal says Dell's mini netbook is finally going to be released this week. Some say Thursday and others Friday. Rumor has it that the price is under $400 to compete favorably with the eeePC, but that is higher than the $299 price that was previously hinted. There probably will be a range of prices based on operating system installed, drive size, webcam, etc. - will just have to wait until announcement is official.

Acer lowered the Aspire One to $329 (Linux version) almost in anticipation of Dell's release, but I keep reading about Wi-fi problems with the Aspire and Wi-fi is really the whole point of my buying a netbook. I hope my expectations for this new product are realized this week.
