I picked up a Mini 10v a couple of months ago and it's been great for what it is... I've mainly used it for web activities - blog updates, forums, stats etc.
I went with the 10v over the 10 because of a few articles stating that the 10v had the better graphics chip (GMA950 over the GMA500). Also that the GMA950 and the 270 processor had better "hackability" with better driver support if you wanted to throw OSX on there and turn it into a "Mac Mini".
The only advantage I saw in the Mini 10 was the option for a higher resolution screen - 1366x768 vs 1024x576 on the 10v (they both have HDMI out though and I believe the ability to do 720p when output to a another source). To me the biggest annoyance w/ any netbook or laptop is the lower resolution. It sucks going from 1920 x 1080 down to 576... you lose half of your viewable area.
Like I say, in the end I went w/ the 10v and it's slightly lower screen resolution because it had too many other advantages.
And if you do pick on up, definitely buy from the
Dell outlet. With the 15% off coupons all over, you can easily pick these up for under $200. I got the Mini 10v, 1MB RAM, 160GB, Webcam, 6-cell battery* for $190 on the outlet after 15% off.
*Definitely look for one that has the 6-cell battery instead of the 3-cell! We have yet to have the battery die on us.
