So, the Amilo Mini has been showing its face quite a bit lately, first beginning with some leaked images, then a quick video surfaced and finally we saw some information about its interchangeable lids.

So far we have seen a leaked image, and a brief video, and now another video has surfaced showing off some cool looking interchangeable colored lids for the Amilo netbook, however we are still severely lacking any information on specs.

Just to recap what we do have so far, the Amilo netbook is expected to feature an 8.9-inch display, retail for somewhere around €300 to €400 (around $475 to $635 US) and is rumored to be officially unveiled during IFA this August.

If nothing else it does look cool, hopefully it will offer a decent set of specs also. Keep reading to check out the video…

The Amilo netbook is expected to be officially unveiled during IFA in Berlin this August and retail in the ballpark of €300 to €400 (around $475 to $635 US).
