While Dell originally mentioned a TV tuner option back when it launched the Mini 10 in January, it’s still working on bringing the feature to market. The latest news is that the configuration will tack roughly $50 onto the price, includes an external antenna (which is only required in low-signal situations), and should be available “this summer.” The couple of channels we saw in action seemed plenty good on the quality front, but nothing groundbreaking. Meanwhile, we also got a look at the new Mini 10v, which swaps HDMI for VGA, lacks the flush “glass” styling of the Mini 10 display, and bounces over to the Atom N270 processor. The version we were looking at included a 6-cell battery (a $30 add-on), which added a considerable amount of lift at the back — it might be ergonomic, but it sure isn’t pretty. Unfortunately the TV option won’t be available for the 10v, so if you were holding out… maybe you should be spending more time with your family.
