Is it a phone? a tablet? no its the Dell slate!
Like everyone else in the tech industry, Dell is also working on a tablet PC. Now Dell sure brought the Android tablet at CES 2010 happening at Las Vegas, but they are hiding it from the general audience. Only a few, including Engadget, got the chance to spend a minute or two with the Dell Slate.
Dell is calling its 5″ tablet the Dell Slate, reminding us of the rumored name of the Apple tablet – iSlate. The Dell Slate is powered by the Android OS. Apart from the name, the OS, 5MP camera and the 5″ display, Dell is keeping everything else a secret. There are rumors of (more…)

NetEase, a Chinese tech blog, reports about an e-mail from China Mobile to the developers which brings in some additions to the rumors about a Dell Smartphone.
The e-mail has been sent to developers to develop app for Smartphones for China Mobile. The list of mobile phones includes a Dell OPhone as shown in the screenshot above. The Dell smartphone called the Mini 3i matches the Dells pattern of device names. And Dells deliberate efforts to enter the smartphone market have been in rumors for quite a time now. The odd thing here is the introduction of the Dell smartphone in the GSM network and not the TD 3G standard. Why would Dell want to miss out the highest network standard on their first smartphone?
The rumor has it that the Dell’s smartphone would be launched by China Mobile in a week or so, along with some other smartphones. Hit the jump for a picture of what seems to be the rumored Dell smartphone we are talking about.

Its being rumored since ages that Dell is working on a smartphone and that too quite secretively 
. In fact the PC giant was expected to out the device at MWC earlier this year but they did a no show there. However after all the speculations getting cold and forgotten here is something that gives a fire-shot to these rumors. A leaked image of a Dell smartphone is here to help our hopes. Cant be certain if its true, but the design looks more like Nokia 5800 to me (though people are comparing it to the Palm Pre).
Btw: It is already confirmed that Dell is testing the Android platform on Netbooks. Earlier this year Acer made a jump to the smartphone market with its Windows Mobile powered Tempo series. Acer is also expected to release an Android based smartphone and Netbook by year end.

The latest quarterly numbers revealed that Acer is up for grabbing the #2 position in terms of market share of PCs. Last quarter Acer’s sales grew three folds (compared to same quarter last year) bringing its total market share to 13%, just 0.1% short to the market share of Dell in the PC world.
The leader in terms of sales in the PC market is HP with a 19.8% shares. Dell’s total shipment of PCs fell by 17%. Acer seems to be compromising its profits for market share, the same strategy being followed by Dell about a decade back. Currently Dell is penetrating into emerging economies with India being its biggest revenue generator outside US.
Earlier this year Acer taped the smartphones market with its Windows Mobile offerings, Dell is expected to follow shortly. PC makers are trying hard to keep up their numbers in recession time. Would be interesting to see how the market shapes up over the next few months.

After months of teasers and leaks the Dell Adamo is officially released. At just .65″ Adamo is the worlds thinnest notebook and gives competition to Voodoo Envy and Macbook Air who compete in the same segment. Though the Adamo weights a little more than both these with a one-piece aluminum chassis.
Dell also offers a variety of customized Adamo accessories to its customers (ranging from portable HDD to Bags). Currently available in two colours (white and black), Adamo costs $1999 upwards.

Rumors are strong that computer giant DELL is all set to jump into the smartphone race. And if these reports are to be believed we might see something official as soon as next month (maybe @ Mobile World Congress?). While its unclear wether dell will use Windows Mobile or Android as its OS, we believe that Windows Mobile 6.5 is what they might go for. However the prospect of Android looks equally exciting!
2 yrs back another computer maker jumped over to the smartphone bandwagon and created history. Lets see what Dell had in store for us!

“The direct model was a revolution. It’s not a religion.” – Dell Founder Michael Dell
Dell plans to begin selling PCs through solution providers, channel partners and retail partners in the near future along with their direct sales model. Dell Inc. aims to increase its existing direct sales by seeking growth through solution partners as well as retail outlets in the U.S. and abroad. Dell already sells about US$4 billion of computers through its solution partners each year in North America alone.
Acer is preparing to take countermeasures to strengthen its ties with channel operators in the US amid reports that Dell is to overhaul its strategy by engaging in commercial reseller and retail channels, according to Jim Wong, president of IT product business group at Acer.
Dell is expected to give its priority to the US market since the US is the largest market for Dell and is also where Dell has recently suffered a serious setback in sales.

Dell plans to launch a computer that will cost USD 238 (Rs 10,000) in India and worldwide.
“We are testing the product in China. The PC would be customised according to the market and customer needs,” Dell India general manager (sales) Sameer Garde said.
Garde did not reveal when the computer will be made available to consumers. He said, “as soon as we are over with the testing and we clear the hurdles, we will make an announcement.”
Officials said, the company’s shipments to India have increased by 82 percent and its revenue over 65 percent during financial year 2005-06, even though its chief executive Michael Dell, who visited India two months back, complained of higher tariffs compared to China and Vietnam.
Dell seems to be going through a rough patch with a drop in quarterly profit. This move could be to use a new strategy to attain financial profit.
Dell recently announced that its assembly unit in Chennai, India will go live by July this year and has projected USD1 billion revenues from India.
