I have received a second anonymous tip about Dell working on a Tablet PC. I normally do not read much into such rumors, but two things make me take this one seriously.

1. This is the second such tip (other one was a couple months ago)
2. The IP address resolves in Round Rock Texas (so was the other tip)

So, for now here is a forum to expand on this tip.

Neat! long pause...

Motivation. If a pretty poster and a cute saying are all it takes to motivate you, you probably have a very easy job. The kind robots wil be doing soon.

 

I'd like to see a Dell convert-a-tablet, and a UMPC as well. I was reeeaaallly tempted when one (a gateway) showed up on woot.com a few weeks ago.

What's the IP address, Chris?

Hmmm.... Could be interesting indeed. Thanks for the heads up.

giving up the IP would break doctor/patient confidentiality....

I must be missing something.... what's so special about Round Rock TX? Is there where the Dell Campus is?

Haha... I'll go get on one of the Round Rock Library computers and give you more info!

No, it wasn't me. :P

   

Yes, the headquarters of Dell is there.

   

i would not be suprised to see dell come out with a slate, a convertable and a umpc.

Great news! I would love to see Dell come out with a Tablet PC!

   

Thanks for the heads up, it would be nice to see a Tablet PC made from them.

Hi, this is very interesting, thanks. Can anyone say what the dimensions of a tablet PC might be, please? (Obviously, considerably larger than Pocket PC??)

I must admit, at first I thought the UMPC is a great idea -- 7" screen and WinXP. But considering it isn't as portable as the Axim nor as versatile and powerful as the M1210... I might have to hold my money until Dell show me the UMPC version of the M1210.

WHOA! That would be good.

What I really want is for Dell to make a Pocket PC Phone. That would kill.
