A refreshed version of the Dell Mini 10 is now available and has been reviewed.  LaptopMag.com looked it over and enjoyed the size and praised it for it’s great battery life.  Everything wasn’t perfect and the reviewer didn’t like how hot it got while in use.  You can fix this by using a cooler of some sort but if you’re the type of person to keep their computer on their legs for hours at a time, this may not be the netbook for you.

Here is what Laptop Mag had to say:

The Inspiron Mini 10 is a solid netbook, especially for those who want to customize the look of their systems and trick it out with plenty of options. It offers a more attractive chassis than its predecessor, better audio and video performance, and over 9 hours of battery life—nearly double the previous generation. Plus, the $369 configuration is cheaper than most other Pine Trail netbooks, with the Acer Aspire One 532h ($349) being the exception. However, the Mini 10’s integrated touchpad buttons and excess heat give us pause. We’d rather spend the extra $30 on the more ergonomically sound Toshiba mini NB305, but the Mini 10 has style and substance.

Even though this review just went live on Jan 20th, you can tell it’s a little aged.  There are several netbooks below $349.  This doesn’t take away from the exciting and caution after having spent some time with this netbook.
