Dell Mini 5 is a 5-inch Android Tablet

Dell’s upcoming tablet-like mobile internet device has been officially named the Mini 5, perhaps due to the fact it’s got a 5-inch screen (although Dell claims to be doing other sizes as well).

The Mini 5 will have 3G, Bluetooth, WiFi running a customized version of Android OS 1.6. There are two cameras — one is a 5MP at the back and another one in front, of smaller resolution, which obviously points to video conferencing. That 5-inch capacitive, multi-touch screen is just enough to make the HTC HD2 look like a little brother.

Dell says this is just a technology concept (read: prototype) so the exact details are still sketchy and we might not even get to see it in stores any time soon. Still, I think a 5-inch MID running Android is just about right. This device falls under the same category as the Moblin-powered LG GW990.

    Yeah, it will solve the problem.. but really, would ALL of us settle for that?!? Personally, I don’t think so… And not all of us don’t like paying for shipping fees and customs’ fee, etc.. bakit ang daya nila…. :(

    Hay naku! Asa pa tayo na maging available na eto sa Pinas! Baka in 10 years pa bago magkaroon!! Andami-dami nang Android phones/devices ang nagawa at nai-release sa ibang bansa pero hanggang ngayon ang alam ko lang na Android device na available sa Pinas eh yung HTC Magic na kailangan mo pang mag-plan sa Smart para magkaroon ka… inis, bakit ganun, wala pa yung Android phones ng LG, Samsung, Motorola, Philips, etc. dito sa Pilipinas!! Sino ba pwedeng matanong dito sa nakakainis na unfair treatment?!?! [sorry sir yuga, naglabas lang ako ng sama ng loob] :'((
