Dell to leap into Eee PC territory?

From Electronista -

Compal, which makes laptops for Dell, says that it will produce between 200,000 and 300,000 "low-cost" notebooks a month for the latter starting sometime in 2008, with as many as one to two million readied by the end of the year. If true, Dell will be joining Acer, ECS, Gigabyte and several others as they crowd the Asus Eee PC for market share in the low-cost ultraportable segment.

Dell primarily uses Intel processors and is most likely to use Intel's Atom should it decide to join the competition.
