New Dell Mini 10 Gets Ubuntu (or Moblin) Early in Japan

I have just noticed that Dell in Japan now have the Ubuntu Linux version of the new Pinetrail Dell Mini 10 that was promised in late February in last year’s official announcement. Normally this shows up in the US first. I’ve scoured around the US site but I don’t see any Ubuntu model. 

Actually I’m not sure whether it’s Ubuntu 9.10, Moblin 2.1 or Ubuntu’s rebranded Moblin version as it states both in the product listings.

The base specs for this Dell Mini 10 model: Atom N450 processor, 1GB RAM, 10.1” 1024 x 600 display, 160GB HDD, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi and a 3-cell battery.
