The Dell Mini 5: Dell tablet gets a name

Comments

• Now price it comparable to a netbook ($299 - $399) and they have a winner!! Posted by snunes, usa
• VERY nice... If I were Microsoft I'd be sitting up and paying attention right now - especially with HTC's new relationship with google via the Nexus One in the same week! Posted by Martin Bristow, England
• Looks awesome, thank you for the information and pics. Posted by Riya, USA
• Great article. I like this gadget. Posted by Mauricio, Colombia
• This is perfect for subway riders to watch TV shows and youtube clips without losing their sight squinching at tiny 3.5" displays. Posted by Alex, USA
• I will get one. Waited forever for something like this. But it needs Android 2.1 or better! Posted by FD, US, FL
• IT must be able to work in wifi hot spots WITHOUT a data plan.....Otherwise it will be just another cell phone that I don't want and cannot afford. We need something to compete with itouch.... Posted by seadog, USA
• Gotta agree with seadog. If this thing is undeniably a phone, Apple will continue to lead with their tablet, the iPod Touch. Even then, rumors are swirling that there coming out with some other new toy, everyone should be on their toes... Posted by Griozen, canada
• I hope it integrates with Flo TV. I'm looking for a phone/TV/tablet, and sprint doesn't support Flo TV yet. :( Posted by gadgetjunkie, US
• I hope they bring out somethng with just a bit larger screen...yes, this is portable and it fits into your rather large pocket. But I want something I can sit with in the living room, about the same size as a laptop - And, gives me the capabilities of a laptop! Now, that's competing with the laptop fraternity and I'll be very interested to see if something like that is available - Your first buyer is here. We need a complete integration of technologies into 1 device...tv, phone, internet - Not a collection of boxes around the tv. We're all waiting!!! Posted by Andy Montgomery, Sweden
• I don't want another phone, I want something that can be enabled to support 3g web browsing but is also a fantastic media/music player with plenty of storage. It looks nice and I hope the product comes with a sensible price tag. The Ball is in Dell's Court! Posted by Benten2, United Kingdom
• I think all of these tablet PC designs are missing the point. They're focused mostly on content consumption (reading e-books, watching video, etc.) The killer tablet design is to be able to consume AND create content, and that's what Apple is probably going to reveal to make it a real show stopper rather than release just another me-too tablet. Check out my article "The End of an Era" in the Jan. 15 issue of ComputorEdge (www.computoredge.com) or http://webserver.computoredge.com/online.mvc. Posted by Wallace Wang, USA
• Well said Wallace. that's what Im waiting for too.
  currently I own the Archos 5 Internet Tablet, and totally luv it. The one thing this Dell Mini has is the front & back cameras, which the Archos doesn't. Posted by A.J., usa
• I'm torn between waiting for this and the Archos 5...
  
  The dell will undoubtably be better... but it is starting to look expensive (two cameras.. neither of which will I use), not to mention the OLED screen. If it is under $500 and comes out within two months... I'll probably get it. Posted by one1, zero
• What kind of memory will this have?, will it be comparable to the archos?
  
  Andy Montegomery if you want something with a larger screen about the same size as a laptop with the capabilities of a laptop buy a laptop... Posted by Kotarski, England
• And where the F is the GPS?? darn-near perfect, yet vitally flawed. Posted by cidermonkey, canada
• I am with cidermonkey, it should have a GPS, or at least be able to connect to a bluetooth GPS in my pocket. Posted by deet, Canada
• Looks nice, but I need to see the specs first before I decide if it's for me. Also if Verizon or sprint is going to pick it up. At&t coverage stinks in my area. If your looking for a all-in-one device that CAN fit into a jacket pocket, check out the Viliv S5.

  I have the larger 7" model, x70, which has a USB port, SD card slot and web cam and mic built in. Prices start under 600, and YES you can make calls from it., but those devices will cost a bit more.

• You have the larger 7" model, viliv x70" model. I bought one but found it to bloody heavy and clumsy for comfort. Posted by Derek, UK
