Dell Inspiron Mini 10 Netbook Gets Gps But Unknown Price Or Release Date



Dell unveiled its Inspiron Mini 10 netbook at a CES press conference this morning.  Sitting squarely between the smaller Mini 9 and larger Mini 12, Electronista reports that the Mini 10 is more advanced than both.  Its 10-inch display manages 1366 x 768 pixels (720p resolution) and the netbook features a multi-touch trackpad that simplifies scrolling, zooming, and moving back to the home screen.

Quite a few netbooks we’ve seen launched at CES are featuring larger keyboards making it a little easier for sausage-fingered folks to type.  The Inspiron Mini 9 is no exception, expanding the keyboard edge-to-edge improving the spacing between keys.

The same 1.6 GHz Intel Atom chip found in the Mini 9 will also power the Mini 10 which will feature 802.11 Wi-Fi, 3G cellular connectivity, GPS (this one doesn’t require a hack), and a built-in TV tuner.

Unfortunately Dell didn’t elaborate on the full specifications or availability and pricing details.  If you can’t wait for the Mini 10, Dell did say that the normally $449 3G-capable Mini 9 will now be available for $99 but the catch is you’ll have to sign up for a 2-year, $60 per month AT&T plan.
