The new Eee PC with a bigger screen is real, and they have in fact crammed all 8 inches into the same sized case as the original model. Unfortunately, they stretched the same number of pixels (800x480) across the expanded screen real estate. The rumored 8.9-inch model is still on the way. (Thanks for keeping it straight, commenters.) Yesterday, we confirmed that the WiMax-enabled Eee PC is definitely in the pipes. [Eee PC News via jkkmobile]

Dell Listens to People, Adds Higher Res Screens to XPS M1530

Dell's XPS M1530 is no slouch on the specs front, so the crummy low-res screen you were stuck with was a mildly bewildering (non-)choice. Cue power of the internets, and Dell's open ear via IdeaStorm, and we now have two higher-res options before the launch: WXGA+ (1440 x 900) and WSXGA+ (1680 x 1050). Well played, Dell, well played. Except that upgrading will push the ship date out even further, and Dell really should've realized this on its own. [Direct2Dell]
