What’s this? Dell couldn’t wait any longer for CES 2010 that they decided to announce the new Inspiron Mini 10, now loaded with Intel Pine Trail Platform, aka N450.  They probably want to earn the distinction of being the first to release a new netbook with this new CPU.

Anyway, the new Inspiron Mini 10v will be available starting January 5, 2010 in the U.S. and January 7 in all other countries.  It will run on Windows 7 Starter Edition or Windows XP and later on Ubuntu 9.04.

Another new feature of the Inspiron Mini 10 is its design and form factor. It now have textured palm rest area that is more finger-print resistant. There is also a touchpad with integrated mouse buttons.

The new netbook will also have several customization options including Bluetooth, 3G and GPS. It will also feature Broadcome Crystal HD Media Accelerator and a TV Tuner.

There will be 7 color design of the new Inspiron Mini 10 - black, white, blue, purple, red, green, and pink.

For battery, there are several options to choose from, either a 3 cell battery pack and two types of 6-cell battery packs.
