Dell unveiled their Inspiron Mini 1012 netbook earlier this year.  The device rocks a 10.1” screen, Intel N450 Atom processor, and integrated Intel GMA graphics.  But today the Inspiron Mini 1012 made another appearance on the FCC, this time with Intel’s 6250 WiMAX chipset.

As you can see above, the Inspiron Mini 1012 with the Intel 6250 chipset is described as a preproduction model.  The model number for this netbook is clearly identified in other RF reports in the filing (left).

It’s good to see Dell adding WiMAX to its netbooks – sure, coverage isn’t great at this point, but WiMAX is pretty speedy when you have a strong signal.  We’re not sure if Dell is partnering with a service provider, but we wouldn’t be surprised to see CLEAR in the mix.

Atheros passed an 802.11 b/g/n card through the FCC today that makes reference to a mysterious Dell netbook called the P04T.  No current or announced Dell products have the P04T model number, so this suggests we will be seeing a new netbook from Dell in the near future.

Unfortunately, Atheros’ filing doesn’t give many details about the P04T at all.  One thing that is disclosed, however, is that the P04T will have a 10” display and 802.11 b/g/n WiFi.

An FCC filing yesterday by Atheros made mention of a Fujitsu netbook with a PineView processor, so hopefully the Dell P04T will also rock some PineView goodness.
