Dell Inspiron Duo up for pre-order
The Dell Inspiron which was officially announced last week is finally up for pre-ordering! If you’ve been looking forward to get your hands on a Windows 7 tablet/netbook device, just head over to the Microsoft Store where you can find the device up for pre-order. The price for the device holds true at $549, but the price of the dock has been slashed by $50, and will only set you back $49 though there’s no telling when it will revert to $99 again. The Dell Inspiron Duo packs a 10.1″ touchscreen, a 1.5GHz Intel Atom N550 processor, 2GB of RAM, a 320 GB hard disk drive, Windows 7 Home Premium, and an integrated 1.3 megapixel webcam. If you’ve been confused about buying a netbook or a tablet, Dell’s solution will allow you to get two for the price of one. Let us know if you plan on purchasing this sexy device.
The Dell Venue Pro comes has one advantage this time around, where it is on the receiving end of the Windows Phone Tango update. After all, this is not exactly the newest smartphone around, and to see the hardware still being supported is definitely worth a look. The Venue Pro is nearly a couple of years in age, and has the virtue of being one of the first Windows Phone powered devices to arrive at the market, so to see it being supported by the latest updates is always an encouraging sight.
To date, it was revealed that only one user in Germany was on the receiving end of this update on his handset, although others should follow suit pretty soon. Do bear in mind that this is not the Windows Phone 7.8 update which was promised to current Windows Phone 7.5-powered devices, and there is no certainty that this particular device will receive the update as well. Still, to see Dell extend such support is always worth mulling over.
Some leaked documents have found their way over to our friends over at Neowin (via MyBroadband) and it indicates that Dell’s first tablet will be called the Latitude 10. The documents show that the Latitude 10 will have a 10.1-inch screen and it will be running Windows 8. Besides that, the display will apparently have a resolution of 1366 x 768 and the whole setup will be powered by a dual-core Intel Atom processor that is said to be based on the Clover Trail platform.
