Digital Home Thoughts: Dell Inspiron Mini 9 - R.I.P.

"As some of you with sharp eyes noted over the weekend, today marks the official retirement of the Dell Inspiron Mini 9, our first entry into the netbook market. It was a successful product by any number of measures, including the unofficial "modders dream" device with owners adding GPS modules, installing different OS, upgrading memory, etc."

Since the 10v is mostly the same except for the slightly larger screen, it makes sense to discontinue the 9. I'm assuming the 10 has out sold the 9 by a considerable margin since being released, making this a pretty easy decision for Dell. Having netbooks with both 9 and 10 inch screens, I do think the 10 inch models are the best fit for a majority of users.
