Were you somehow holding off buying the HP Mini 1000 because of the unannounced and sneakily revealed HP Mini 1100 netbooks? Well, you can stop acting weird like that now, because there’s actually no such thing as an HP Mini 1100 netbook. Nope, no, sir. Official word has come from the folks at HP and they’ve confirmed that those rather confusing model numbers were all just results of freak typographical errors. More to the point, Crunchgear has quoted HP as saying:

We don’t offer a model within the HP Mini 1000 series that has an Express Card slot. There was an error made on our website which is being corrected. But for those customers interested in an HP Mini with an Express Card lot, we do offer the 2140 of course!

…I know this is confusing, but the 1100 models are simply other SKUs within the 1000 series, and differences within the various SKUs can be things like panel size, hard drive, etc., you know? (Though the info on our support website looks a little misleading because it makes it sound like the 1100 is a completely separate/new series.)

And there you have it. So much for wishing you could also have an ExpressCard slot on your next netbook, no?
