Engadget Finally Let’s Loose with Pre-Production Dell Mini 5 Details

Posted on 20 February 2010

We showed you the other week that Engadget got their hands on a pre-production version of the Dell Mini 5 — they initially hooked us up with a nice gallery, but I’ve personally be waiting eagerly for a full list of thoughts, and according to the Mini 5’s popularity chart over in the product database, many of you have been too! Luckily, today is the day that Engadget has decided to grace us with additional Mini 5 info. They’ve done a pretty thorough write-up for a device which isn’t even […]

Dell Mini 5 Dock Shows Its Face

Posted on 20 February 2010

Or perhaps we should say base? Anyway, a Greek site has turned up the first look at the Dell Mini 5’s dock. The dock has HDMI out as well as USB port (likely to power the unit and transfer files from a computer) The Mini 5 [Product page] will be able to do 720p video as stated and demonstrated at MWC earlier in the week and the HDMI will help you get that to an HDTV. There is a rather peculiar video, on said Greek site, in which we get […]

Social Netbooks and ARM’s Lock-In Netbook Opportunity.

Posted on 19 February 2010

Up at the 10” netbook segment there’s a well-established market for low-cost, portable, low-end laptops. 40 million or more sales to-date and many tens of millions more sales predicted in 2010 and 2011. Prices are low, battery life high, performance acceptable and even style is playing a role now. Netbooks are just cool and very easy to justify. This is where ARM partners have a superb opportunity in…the Social Netbook.

Mirasol Demo Proves Dual-Screen Readers have a Short Lifeline.

Posted on 18 February 2010

Before you watch the video below, take a look at the video I shot of the Entourage Edge at CES. It shows a dual-screen reader with E-ink/E-paper and traditional LCD technology. It’s huge, heavy and will be expensive to produce. There’s no reason to have two screens apart from a comfort factor (it looks like a book) and to get round the limitations of LCD and e-ink displays. The latter problem, as I suggested in the article, can be solved by using a dual-mode screen; that is, one that can […]
