Stantum Japan demo resistive multitouch display tech [Video]

By Chris Davies on Friday, Nov 27th 2009 No Comments

It’s been a while since we looked at Stantum Japan’s multitouch touchscreen offerings, but the company has obviously been beavering away in the meantime. They’ve demonstrated their latest prototype – based on the guts of a Dell Mini 10 netbook – which uses a resistive touchscreen to recognize unlimited points of contact. While we may be used to that sort of thing from capacitive displays, what the resistive technology brings to the table is responsiveness not only to fingers but any type of contact, whether stylus, key or even a paintbrush.

Dell may have come clean regarding their Mini 3i Android-powered smartphone earlier this month, but hard specifications for the touchscreen handset were tougher to come by. Happily a China Mobile press release has filled in some of the technical blanks, confirming that the Dell Mini 3i headed to their shores later this month has a 3.5-inch 640 x 360 16:9 display and measures 58.35 x 122 x 11.7 mm.

Dell’s Mini 3i may only have been official for a few hours, but already the first unboxing is upon us.

Dell Mini 3i Android phone imminent for China; Brazil by end of 2009 [Updated]

By Chris Davies on Friday, Nov 13th 2009 No Comments

Dell has come clean with its Android smartphone plans, revealing it will be launching the Dell Mini 3i in China “in the coming days” while a Brazilian release will take place before the end of 2009. According to Dell Latin America’s Hans Erickson, China and Brazil have been prioritized above all other regions; he also revealed that the Chinese version of the Mini 3i – set to launch on China Mobile – will lack 3G, while the Mini 3i headed to Brazilian carrier Claro will get the high-speed connectivity.

Update: Dell’s official blog has confirmed the news, together with dropping strong hints that the company will be leveraging existing carrier relationships for embedded mobile broadband netbooks for future Mini 3i releases. Vodafone in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, and AT&T and Verizon in North America, are both name-checked. More photos of the Dell Mini 3i after the cut.

Update 2: And now the official press release is out; still no hard specifications.

Don’t Do It Dell: Think Tablets, Not MIDs

By Joanna Stern on Tuesday, Nov 10th 2009 No Comments

It looks like Dell is planning to release a mobile internet device, or a MID. The details are few and far between but the product—code-named Streak—looks like it packs Wi-Fi, 3G and Android 2.0 all into one. It is exactly what Intel has been calling a mobile internet device for the past few years: larger than a smartphone, primarily for accessing the Net, and featuring multimedia and even GPS functionality. The Archos 5 Internet Tablet and the leaked video of the Dell device gives us a better glimpse of what is to come and what it can do. Ironically (and you will see why later), when I watched the video I immediately thought: ah, so Dell wants to make an iPhone with a larger 5-inch screen!
