Dell Latitude 10 and XPS 12 Windows 8 tablet images surface

Posted on May 28, 2012 by MG3

While Dell has previously promised a Windows 8 enterprise tablet "on the exact day" the new operating system debuts, we haven't heard any firm plans for its consumer offerings. Neowin has posted two separate images of what it claims are Dell's two Windows 8 tablets. The XPS 12 is said to be a convertible 12.5-inch tablet (similar to the company's Inspiron Duo) with an edge-to-edge Gorilla Glass display, due in late 2012.

Dell: Windows 8 touchscreen devices to be priced higher

Posted on May 24, 2012 by MG3

Touchscreen laptops and tablets with the upcoming Windows 8 OS will be priced higher than their non-touchscreen counterparts, Dell's CEO said on Tuesday.
Dell will offer a full complement of Windows 8 products when Microsoft launches its new OS, CEO Michael Dell said during the company's quarterly earnings call. The touchscreen Windows 8 products will occupy higher price bands, which could mean higher profit margins for Dell, he said.

Posted on Mar 29, 2012 by MG1

It comes to an end! Dell has ended the sales of its first and only Windows Phone device Dell Venue Pro. The device when got leaked created lots of buzz and excitement and later went on to become a great example of poorly executed product. Until few days back the device was available at dirt cheap price from Dell as it was selling this unlocked device at $299 at its own store whereas in Amazon the unlocked device is still available at a price of just $249. Now Dell no longer sells mobile devices ( Windows Phone+ Android) in US and expects to release few new products later this year.

Microsoft is rolling a hard six with their tablet strategy in Windows 8, and while it might be a hard sale with iPad crazy consumers, at least in the Enterprise they have a fighting chance.

The Dell Streak 5, Dell's original smartphone/tablet hybrid, may be discontinued, but the company is doing good to support its customers, as it has just released the Android 2.3 Gingerbread update for the 5-inch devices.

Official Android 2.3 Gingerbread update is now available for the Dell Streak 5

Official Android 2.3 Gingerbread update is now available for the Dell Streak 5

Posted on Dec 23, 2011 by MG1

Remember when the Dell Streak 5 brought big in a literally big way – with its still perceived to be monstrous sized 5” display? Yes, it has been long discontinued in the US, but nevertheless, it’s getting one snazzy update that no doubt brings some surprise.
Specifically, the official Android 2.3 Gingerbread update for the original Streak is now available and ready for the taking, thanks to the team over at xda-developers. With the sizable 155MB update, users are required though to have version 350 of the stock recovery installed on the device prior to installation. Once that’s all squared away, you’ll have your Dell Stream 5 transformed completely to an almost new device with Gingerbread.

Dell's last U.S. Android tablet vanishes, company insists it is still interested in Android

Dell's last U.S. Android tablet vanishes, company insists it is still interested in Android

Posted on Dec 07, 2011 by MG1

Dell has discontinued offering the Streak 7 Android tablet in the U.S. The Streak 7 was Dell's sole remaining Android tablet to be available in the U.S., but the company insists that it is still very much interested in Android - for the global market, at least.
In the U.S., the Streak 7 was available from T-Mobile with HSPA+ 3G connectivity options. To say that it was a slow seller would be an understatement, but neither company has actually released specific sales figures for it. Before the Streak 7, Dell offered the Streak 5, a smaller 5-inch tablet that was fraught with software issues and a high price tag. The Streak 7 was the last Android tablet to be sold by Dell in the U.S.

Dell Venue Pro on AT&T finally getting the Mango update

Posted on Dec 01, 2011 by MG1

Every time we think we have seen the last of the Mango update, another forgotten handset on a slow carrier pops up which still needs to be updated.
In this case Microsoft has announced that the Dell Venue Pro on AT&T is finally getting Windows Phone 7.5.
Of course at this point we have already started moving on to 7740, leaving the handset once again once step behind.

Dell 'very' in step with Windows 8, disappointed by Android

Dell 'very' in step with Windows 8, disappointed by Android

Posted on Oct 14, 2011 by MG15

Dell's founder Michael Dell used his own Dell World conference as an unusual platform for talking down Android while putting faith in Windows 8. While he pledged loyalty to Microsoft and said the company was "very aligned" with it, he said Google's OS had "not developed to the expectations" Dell had. Steve Felice, president of the consumer division, tried to minimize the company's lack of success, claiming that the Streak tablets, Aero, and Venue phones were shipped in small numbers to "see customer reaction and behavior."

To support his view, the CEO went on to make the paradoxical claim that his company's primary business, hardware, wasn't important. Dell provides enterprise-grade service...

Honeycomb update for the Dell Streak 7 starts rolling out to some owners

Honeycomb update for the Dell Streak 7 starts rolling out to some owners

Posted on Oct 03, 2011 by MG3

A month ago on the dot, we reported that Dell was firmly committed to getting the beloved tablet-optimized platform in Honeycomb to its Dell Streak 7 – even more when units were spotted running a build of Honeycomb at the most recent IFA tradeshow.
Well, it appears as though that some Dell Streak 7 owners are getting the update just a little bit earlier than the rumored date of October 7th – though, some are reporting different stories in regards to its installation process.

Dell Streak 7 on track to get Honeycomb upgrade

Dell Streak 7 on track to get Honeycomb upgrade

Posted on Sep 07, 2011 by MG1

Erik Day, Dell's director of marketing for EMEA, has confirmed that the Dell Streak 7 will be getting an upgrade to Android 3.2 (Honeycomb).
Speaking to Thinq, Day demoed the softare on the 7-inch tablets at IFA 2011, but wasn't able to say when the Honeycomb update would come to existing Wi-Fi only Dell Streak 7s.
The Android 3.2 build of Honeycomb was intended to bring the tablet software to smaller than 10-inch slates, so it makes sense for Dell's 7-inch offering to be in line for the upgrade.
Languishing
The Android 3.2 update will take the Streak 7 up to Honeycomb from the seriously outdated Android 2.2 that it's currently languishing on.
This means taking the 7-inch slate to heady new ...

Dell Streak 7 Wi-Fi only tablet is expected to get its dose of Honeycomb in September?

Posted on Aug 12, 2011 by MG3

Clearly overshadowed by the myriad of Honeycomb tablets that we’ve continuously been seeing for the better part of the last few months, the Dell Streak 7 has been overlooked by many due to its choice of sticking to an older build of the platform.
