<banging head on desk> ARGH.. Morons.. Maybe km9 and fgodfrey can team up together and write a GMA500 driver for OS X.. hehe..
I imagine it still has the 1gb ram limit, too.. Bring on the real next generation of Netbooks with the nVidia Ion chipset!

Anyone have a link to the full specs? All I've seen is what was on the press event.

man!, that sucks. I was planning on buying my wife a white mini and was actually going to consider this new one but i guess ill have to stick with mini 9.

i'd like to see the size difference between the 9 and 10. i wonder if they were able to get the same size or close because of the edge to edge keyboard and screen.

For someone such as me, how hard is it to write a new driver for video?

He has full QE and CI working with dual head support using the basic Natit drivers.

I can't find any specs on which video card the mini 10 uses.

Where is there information that confirms the 500?

I think that comment was based on the fact that it uses the Z530 atom proc. This proc has been paired with the GMA500 exclusively thus far.

So... who's going to be first to buy one and try it out?
