Dell will soon communicate on their new subnotebook, which will try to take on the Asus Eee.
More information about the matter here
Let's try to be on the ball and ask Dell to push the "Netbook Remix" version of Ubuntu that was unveiled a few days ago on those slick little machines. This will give Ubuntu even more traction, in particular in this very decisive "lightweight" segment where the price of the OS is a high percentage of the total price. It's working for Asus and their Xandros distribution, it could work for Ubuntu as well.

Synchronize releases with other distributions or projects

The recent Hardy Heron release is a perfect example of why Ubuntu needs better synchronization with its environment. The Kubuntu version is not synchronized with the major release of KDE, namely KDE4.
As recently proposed by Mark Shuttleworth and other prominent Ubuntu maintainers and developers, the distribution should by any mean possible try to stick with other distributions (in particular major ones like Fedora, Debian or Mandriva) or major projects (like X.org, Gnome, KDE, OpenOffice, INSERT_MAJOR_PROJECT_HERE), since it will give a strong incentive to developers and maintainers to provide quality software on time and to prove that the Free Software Community can effectively present a united front.
