Dell Tablet Rumors Heat Up.

Admin · 04-23-07, 04:40 PM

I had posted a snip here and there about this. I have been getting anonymous tips about this from reliable anonymous tipsters over at Aximsite for as far back as mid 2006. After about the 3rd seperate tip from a Round Rock IP address, I decided it had legs back on . The same day, I created a forum to discuss and speculate this rumor of the Dell Tablet. Now that Kevin over at JK on the Run has let the cat out of the bag, I will confirm that info shared with me on is right on the money with Kevin's report. The specs I was provided and the time frame match pretty close to earlier tips. These are potential specs according to jkOnThe Run:

Intel Core Duo up to 1.2 GHz processor
Up to 2 GB of RAM
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 (up to 224 MB shared memory)
WXGA (1280 x 800) 12 " widescreen
SATA hard drive (up to 60 GB)
Three primary battery options (4, 6, 9 cell)
Bluetooth, WiFi (a/b/g)
WWAN CDMA from Verizon

Jack posted about the JK on the Run report yesterday, but I had to chime in and add some value to this rumor. It has legs.

speaking in general terms.. do you think Dell sees this as taking some of the space that was occupied by the axim? and the UMPCs

I think that for alot of Axim owners, a tablet could take over. The thing for me is connectivity and portability. Something like the Shift is perfect.

Pair up a good bluetooth headset, throw the shift in my backpack and I have a phone. When I need to do some reading, email... I have a mini laptop. Wanna watch a movie on the plane... Shift! Since it's running on Vista rather than Windows Mobile, there would have to be some sorta bluetooth able voice dialer though. (since voice command is outta the question)

I would prefer PPC Phone over Tablet any day.
