Dell is planning to introduce a low-cost notebook in August to join the low-cost notebook market, according to the market sources. The notebook will be manufactured by Compal Electronics, according to the sources

Dell is coming to the low-cost notebook party relatively late, compared to other first-tier vendors such as Hewlett-Packard (HP) and Acer. However, the Dell E series low-cost notebook will be priced at only US$299, US$100 cheaper than Acer's Aspire one, and the market sources estimates that Dell can ship 2-3 million units this year.

I look forward to see how this compares to the competition. However, I'm more interested in getting more power into the tiny package and not necessarily lowering the costs any. My main complaint about the Eee is the screen size...it should be bigger and higher resolution. I'd pay an extra $100 or so for that.
