We original got word that the HP Mini 210 would be released February 1st, 2010 but it seems that the launch date has been brought forward a whole month…

Peter at Netbooked noticed that in the HP’s affiliate catalog the HP Mini 210 series is listed with a launch date of January 7th, meaning the HP Mini 210 and its Compaq associate will be available this next week. Pricing details were also noted: the standard HP Mini 210 will start at $279.99 and the HD version at $329.99 (high resolution display).

UPDATE: The Compaq CQ10 is not the same as the HP Mini 210. A Compaq CQ10 is also listed at $259.99, most likely an HP Mini 210 rebranding.

Peter also noticed that the HP Pavilion DM1 was not mentioned in the launch which begs the question of whether HP scrapped the launching in the U.S. The HP Mini 210 was also discovered in a listing at Amazon Germany.
