Funny how Pocket Lint doesn't just stop at 1024 x 600 res for the Compaq Mini 700 and 1024 x 576 for the Mini 1000, they go on to say that the Mini 700 has a 10.2″, 16:10 ratio screen and the Mini 1000 has a 10.1″ SD[?] display with a 16:9 ratio!

Also, it's interesting that HP chose the new and informative name “700″ to distinguish the 10.2″ model from its smaller 10.1″ brother, the “1000″ (Are we sure that Carly Fiorina actually left HP and now heads McCain's financial advisers? I wonder if commerce schools include a logic subcourse in their marketing courses

Since the HSDPA is said to be optional, I don't suppose a provider subsidy would account for the lower price of the Mini 700. (I mean, if it's optional and you leave it out, you wouldn't get a subsidy, so, all else equal, the price would be the same as the mini 1000.)

According to the US service manual, that screen resolution is accurate. The 8.9-inch Mini 1000 has a 1024×600 screen and the 10-inch has 1024×576.
