You might have already seen pictures of HP’s new Mini 210 netbook when it was first spotted in an online store, but you know nothing beats the real thing, right? Which makes the fact that a random passerby has seen and photographed this said netbook sitting nonchalantly in a Costco in Hillsboro, Oregon all the more exciting. And not only that, it’s also a bit confusing, because a sign near the HP Mini 210 pictured above lists specs and a price that doesn’t quite match what we first saw online. It’s a fair bit more expensive and comes with a slightly less spacious hard drive. It might be Costco’s profit margin, but who knows? Maybe the prices will settle down a bit in a matter of days when this model becomes available in other stores all across the world.

Rumors of a subsidized 3G-enabled 10-inch Acer Aspire One going on sale through Costco have been floating around weeks ago. Now, we have even more evidence in support of these rumors. By way of leaked internal documents, it has been revealed that Costco employees are currently being trained for an upcoming launch and the reportedly, D-Day will be on May 11th. That is, when the 10-inch netbook will finally be available, not only on Costco’s kiosks, but also on AT&T’s stores. There’s no word yet on a final price, but it shouldn’t be too far from how much the subsidized 3G-enabled 9-inch model is selling these days, which isn’t much, if you don’t count the obligatory 2-year contract.
