In a very short piece by Dow Jones, a source at Compal claims that Dell plans a sub-notebook to compete with the HP Mini-Note that was announced yesterday. And that's all we know right now.

Compal, which is one of the Taiwan ODM community that manufactures notebooks and PCs for Dell and others to rebadge under their own names, hopes to ship 1 million to 2 million low-cost notebook computers to Dell in 2008, according to an unnamed official.
