I haven't been on this site for a long time as I sold my Mini some time ago. It sure was fun upgrading it and running several OS's on it. This site was always a great place to go for support and to learn how to push the Mini to the extreme.

Thank you all for the good times.

A sad day indeed. I was just reloading mine for the wife as a grand kid spilled OJ all over hers and its going to need some "care". I guess ebay is the besy place to get a 9 now. Its a shame really as I've been using mine fro work/play since I bought it. Since I still have a working Dell cpxi (circa 1997), I guess I can keep these two alive as long as parts are available. I hope they come up with something to replace it.... and not a tablet!!! Those of us that actually use the things for work really need a keyboard and mouse.

We're NOT DEAD YET! You can still get Dell mini's brand new through Sprint(3G/4G) and AT&T(3G only)!! Although AT&T appears to be out of stock....

Dell did the right thing with the Mini 9, it's a shame the latter models were so characterless and mainstream. Same thing happened with the Streak. No surprise the netbook market is dying tho, I haven't touched mined since I got my MBA,

Intel launched its "Cedar Trail" Atom processors today. Several manufacturers have said that they'll make netbooks with them, but Dell has said "no".

Just bought a brand new Mini 1012 as a replacement for a crashed HP Mini 10. On EBay for $249.99, wow, it's great, only missing the bluetooth card which I hope to add. So there are still a few new ones out there! Mine also has the WWAN slot for an AT&T sim card, which I have and use all the time when I travel. I should be okay for a while, but I am happy to hear of other people that really love this little gem!

Are they still producing new batteries for these? I see them on ebay, and on the dell site (expensive), but wonder how old the manufacture date is. My batteries seen a lot of charges on my mini 10 and I don't know how much longer it will last.

I just received today a new battery for my 10v, a third-party 6 cell battery. OS X seems to recognize the battery fine, and it's almost finished charging.

Cool. Where'd you order it from?

You might try Kahlon (Computer Memory, Laptop Batteries) . I've used them before. They are reliable and reasonable and they do show Mini batteries in stock.

Good luck!
