Dell Launches Nickelodeon Edition Netbooks

from JoeUser Forums

Dell made a really cool announcement yesterday.

“If you've got young kids at home like I do, you know the answer to that question is the one and only SpongeBob SquarePants. I'm betting you can probably sing the rest of the theme song as well. Why am I talking about this? Because we're partnering with Nickelodeon, Whyville.net, Walmart and others to introduce a netbook for kids.

It's or first product that focused on kids. Since it's a netbook that weighs less than three pounds, it's easy for kids to bring it from room to room or in the car during a road trip. From a spec standpoint, the Nickelodeon edition is based on our popular Inspiron Mini 10v. Kids (or their parents) will be able to choose from three different Design Studio designs: SpongeBob, iCarly or Green Slime (pictured below—click image to see a larger version). “

And of course Stardock partnered with them to create the interface and skins!

+1 to SD for the skin job.

why is it that companies have to sell themed computers?  HP and Dell both love to do it.  I can't see them making any decent profit from them.  having cool theme designs for the desktop to match the branding is one thing, but...nickelodeon....really, Dell?
