Dell Mini 3 and Google Nexus One UK launch plans unfold

By Chris Davies on Friday, Jan 8th 2010 No Comments

CES 2010’s US-focus means we generally have to wait a little longer to hear about when some of the more appealing gadgets may make their way to foreign shores, but a couple of the headline-grabbing Android smartphones have already been promised to the UK. Dell confirmed with Electricpig that the Dell Mini 3 would be, perhaps unsurprisingly, headed to the UK, together with the tease that the handset was apparently “built specifically with the UK in mind”, while Total Telecom have heard from UK carriers T-Mobile and 3 that they’re currently negotiating with Google over the Nexus One.

Having shown you leaked images of the Dell Streak 5-inch MID all the way back in October 2009, Dell took to their CES 2010 stage this morning to briefly demo the latest prototype. Dell are insisting on referring to the MID as the “Dell Tablet Concept” right now, and the only specifications they’ll confirm are the Android OS and the 5-megapixel autofocus camera with LED flash on the back.

Dell Mini 10 netbook mod creates huge Mini 3i Android phone [Video]

By Satsuki Then on Thursday, Dec 31st 2009 No Comments

It looks like Dell’s Mini 3i smartphone is prompting just as much interest in Android over in China as it does in the US and Europe, as one modder has created their own huge version of the touchscreen handset. According to Shanzai, the project started off as a Dell Mini 10 netbook – which means this replica Mini 3i has a 10-inch display – which was then reshaped into the smartphone form-factor. You can see a timelapse video of the conversion after the cut.

Dell Android MID tipped for CES 2010 launch

By Chris Davies on Thursday, Dec 10th 2009 No Comments

Only this morning we were pondering why Apple gets all the decent tablet rumors, and now Dell have stepped – or been pushed – into the fray. According to Pocket-lint, their unnamed sources have spilled the beans on an incoming Dell Android tablet, bigger than a smartphone but smaller than a regular netbook, arriving at CES 2010 in January. To us, it sounds a whole lot like the Dell Streak we spotted back in October.

Harlequin dual-touchscreen netbook mod is DIY Courier

By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Dec 9th 2009 No Comments

Now turning a netbook into a cheap tablet or UMPC isn’t new, and we’ve seen plenty such mods before, but this so-called Harlequin project is something else. My Dell Mini forum member pakkei decided he couldn’t wait for Microsoft to release the Courier and thought he’d make one himself, converting his Inspiron Mini 9 into a slate-format tablet and adding in a second, 9-inch USB touchscreen.
