Billed as the "affordable, portable, internet companion," Dell appears to be readying its Mini 10v netbook for a retail release later this month. You may be more familiar with the Mini 10v as 'Bear,' or model 1011, both of which have appeared in previous roadmaps.
No matter what you call it, the new Mini looks to be another run-of-the-mill netbook. Gone is the Z-series Atom, to be replaced by the much more prominent Atom N270 (1.6GHz, 512KB L2 cache 533MHz frontside bus). Other standard-fare specs include a 120GB hard drive, 1GB of memory, a 1.3MP webcam, and Windows XP.
According to Dell's latest catalog (PDF), the Mini 10v should be available by mid-May starting at $299.
