It sounds like they're singing "iPad" in the video.

kind of a neat idea, but like a lot of things, you'd have to work with it for a week to get an idea of whether it's decent or not

For those consumers who can’t decide on a tablet or netbook computer, Dell today announced its new Inspiron duo convertible tablet is now available for pre-order in the United States. Canadians will be able to get their hands on the device sometime next year.

Neat looking device

It's featured at the end of one of the Microsoft commercials. It looks cool!

Dell Inspiron Duo Shipping in Two Weeks; Available for Pre-Order Now

Dell is now taking pre-orders for the Dell Inspiron Duo, a 10-inch combination tablet-notebook computer unveiled earlier this year.

In a completely surprise move (read: we totally expected this) at the grand opening of a new Microsoft store in Bellvue, Wash., on Thursday, Dell began lining up buyers for the tab-books, which are expected to start shipping the first week of December.

It's a pretty interesting looking unit, but aside from the cool factor, I can see it as being a niche product that won't sell much after the initial release. I have my laptop for home use and if I want a small form factor, I`ll drop 400 bucks on a mini.

The Inspiron duo starts at $549, ranging to $649 with optional dock, in the United States. The model is available in the U.S., but it's not clear when the tablet will be available in Canada.

As I noted in my article, it will be available in Canada next year. Dell Canada PR confirmed.
