Technology is sexy now, and laptop computers are an important fashion accessory. Apple knew this when it created its preposterously thin MacBook Air, and now rumors are stirring that Dell will do the same, or even one-up its boutique competitor. Dell just launched a website called "Adamo by Dell" that teases a mysterious new product, but doesn't say anything about what kind of product it is.

The New York Times and Uptownlife.net think they've got it nailed down, though. Because of comments from a Dell vice president (when asked whether or not Dell will release an Air competitor, he said the company has something "iconic" in the pipeline), they're all but convinced that Adamo will be a very sleek laptop. So if you're a PC, as it were, but you still want to show off your class, keep an eye on this one with us.

UPDATE: A reliable source tipped tech blog Engadget with confirmation that Adamo is intended to be "the world's thinnest laptop." It was originally planned for a December launch, but it's been delayed until the Spring.
