<p>After no small amount of external pressure, Dell has finally managed to do some major damage on the Adamo&#8217;s number one drawback: the price. The starting mark for the 1.2GHz machine has been slashed from $1,999 to $1,499, while the high-end model with SSD and a 1.4GHz processor is down to $2,299. Still not in the same general galaxy as most consumer-aimed Dell products, but quite a lot closer to the realm of possibility.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;re sure that it&#8217;s only a matter of moments before a 256GB thumb drive this bulky is something of a joke &#8212; hell, it wasn&#8217;t so terribly long ago that cramming 256MB into something this size was an accomplishment. That said, if you&#8217;re a netbook user looking for a storage bump, it looks like Kingston&#8217;s got your back: this guy boasts transfer rates of up to 20 MB/sec. read and 10 MB/sec. write, and for all of you Vista fans, supports Windows ReadyBoost. Now, for the bad news: only available in Europe and the UK, and custom made upon your order (presumably after the check clears) this modern technological marvel will run you £565.67 ($924)<img src="http://www.techwhiz.in/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/090720-datatraveller-01-300x130.jpg" alt="Kingston 250GB" width="300" height="130" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-730" /></p>
