New Dell Tablet Sounds Pretty Cool
With all this talk of the iPad, it’s hard to remember that yes, other idiots are also trying to make a device designed only for fun during a massive recession. If I had a bunch of expendable cash, I think I actually might buy this new Dell tablet, the Mini 5. Here’s what it’s packing:
- Flash compatibility, unlike the iPad
- Make phone calls
- Runs on Android, which is always a plus
- Front facing webcam, rear facing 5 megapixel camera
- 16:9 aspect ratio, perfect for HD media
- A “competitive” price, which I hope is code for, “Much cheaper than the iPad”
For the record, the iPad’s screen is nearly double the size of the Mini 5, has access to the hundred thousand apps in the iTunes App Store, and is a gigantic iPhone. Gigantic versions of things people already love seems like a winning strategy in the coming tablet-wars.
I once again raise the question: does anyone out there actually need a tablet computer? I suppose the real question, though, is, will anybody want one.
