Dell Tablet PC - I decided, after a second anonymous tip about Dell in the process of working on a Tablet PC, I would make a forum for it.

A Dell Tablet PC
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.

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?

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??)
