Dell and Nickelodeon Team Up on Netbook

In an ongoing effort to get parents to part ways with cash on new gadgets that their children don’t really need but just have to have, Dell and Nickelodeon have tag-teamed on this Inspiron Mini Nickelodeon Edition netbook. Complete with oozing slime, the Nickelodeon Edition is based on Dell’s Mini10v. Not much details on specs was released, but it’s likely we’ll see the standard Intel Atom N270 processor and 1GB RAM. Luckily, on doesn’t really buy a Nickelodeon netbook for specs anyway–the netbook brings Nickelodeon-based interface, early access to some Nickolodeon episodes, a 15-month trial of McAfee Family Security helping parents maintain control over their children’s usage and plenty of educational applications to stimulate children’s minds in ways that Nickelodeon shows will never do. In addition to the slime-themed model pictured, other themes being worked on include SpongeBob SquarePants and iCarly. Avaibility is expected for October at Walmart and Dell’s online store.
