Uh oh, looks like HP has confused its product release order of operations. Without even a hint of an official announcement, the HP 210 netbook has appeared in two quadrants of the internet: retail and troubleshooting. The former is eCost, which claims the 10.1-inch matte black portable is in stock for $390 and touts a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 (yep, that's Pine Trail), integrated graphics, 1GB RAM, 250GB HDD, and a 6-cell battery. As for the latter, we need look no further than HP's own support pages -- similar to what happened with the Mini 311 back in September. So will we get an eye-full before CES or will we have to wait for the big show? After?HP 210 netbook forgets announcement in lieu of support pages, retail listings originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 29 Dec 2009 22:16:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
