I was at the CES and was told that it'll be available during the summer for Back to School season.  Then toward the holiday season at the end of the year, more color choices and options will be available as well.  Right now, they'll have to get rid of all the mini 9 before they could release the mini 10.

They will not have to get rid of the mini 9 to start the mini 10.

Dell is not replacing the mini 9 with the 10,eventually the mini 9 will reach EOL and then the build will come to a hault.But last i read,the 10 is scheduled for february release.

Considering the fearse competition in the netbook segment and the fact that almost every player is coming up with the updated models within a month, the summer release time for mini 10 would be too late. Dell would loose a lot of potential buyers.

I ordered the Mini 10 a few days ago with the expected delivery date of April 10th.  I knew I didn't want the 9 and the 12 was too big.  I'm hoping this one works for traveling.  It has a bigger hard drive, 160G, still only 1G of memory but the bigger hard drive is what sold me on this one along  with Windows XP.
