Dell announces Mini 10 netbook with GPS and 720p

By Nick Mansell on Fri 09 January 2009

DellThe Dell launches keep on coming at CES. Fresh from the Inspiron 15 and new Studio XPS line-up, it's unveiled a new 10in netbook that slots in neatly between the 8.9in Dell Mini 9 and the 12.1in Mini 12. The aptly named Mini 10 joins the legion of new 10in netbooks hitting the shelves, but packs some stand-out features.

Top of the list is its built-in GPS and a 720p capable, glass display with a movie-minded 16:9 aspect ratio for hi-def content. Dell's also taken tips from other makers and fitted an edge-to-edge keyboard to maximise typing space. Below that is a muti-touch and gesture control touchpad to give the new MacBook a run for its money.

Tucked under the bonnet is a standard 1.6GHz Atom Z530, with an undisclosed serving of RAM and hard disk space but Dell did reveal that mobile broadband and - uniquely - a digital TV tuner would be built in. We're not yet sure about Bluetooth but it does have wireless-n.

As with the rest of the Mini range, you can expect as choice of hues from Dell's "expanded color [sic] palette" as well as "popular Design Studio images".

We'll update with UK pricing, pics and spec details as we get them.
