The Dow Jones newswire is reporting that an official at the Taiwanese laptop maker, Compal Electronics, has said it's building a new low-cost mini notebook for PC giant, Dell. According to the source, the Asus Eee competitor could launch as early as June - nicely timed for the launch of Intel's new Atom processor.

It's apparently aiming to ship out up to two million of the small-size laptops in 2008 alone. Details elsewhere on the web suggest it'll be an 8.9in model, selling for under $500, putting it in direct competition with the Eee PC 900 and HP Mini-Note.

There's no official word from the company, but Dell fans are already getting excited.
