For quite a while now—at least in terms of technology where, much like dog years, three months roughly equates to a calendar year—AT&T and Verizon have been offering netbooks with wireless service agreements. Netbooks offer users a smaller, lighter option to notebooks, and have been cropping up at coffee houses and campuses nationwide. While a netbook doesn’t offer as much memory or as many features as a notebook, it can still come in handy on business trips because of its portability, or for specialized tasks like managing a household budget, or blogging. On the heels of announcing the launch of the HD2 this spring, T-Mobile is apparently also preparing to offer its own netbook to customers.
Rumors of a T-Mobile netbook have been circulating for a while, and the latest is that the carrier will offer the Dell Mini 10, which was revealed at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January. Dell showed off its most interesting feature, the multi-touch trackpad, which works similarly to the trackpads found on Macbooks.
Provided all the information available now is correct, the Dell Mini will be available from T-Mobile at the end of March. Since neither company has made an official announcement yet, no pricing or service agreement details are known. It’s pretty safe to assume that T-Mobile’s deal will be similar to those of Verizon and AT&T, which require two-year contracts to get subsidized prices. We’ll keep you posted.
