What the Shell, Dell?!
"Shell!" Like that? My son watches the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles religiously so I couldn't resist...
But seriously! What's up with Dell lately?
Wasn't it just a year or two ago that they were having legal problems, losing money and putting bad versions of their products into national superstore chains like Walmart and Best Buy?
Yet here they are playing with the big dogs - acting like they can keep up with the best out there today in computer, mobile and even tablet technology.
Last night I saw no less than 6 articles on new Dell products being released soon. Most are mobile phones. But there was also an article or two on their tablets called the Streak5 and the Looking Glass.
Here are just a couple of the articles on the mobile phones they unveiled yesterday:
- Mobile Crunch on the Flash, Thunder and Smoke
- Engadget on Dell Lightning
- Engadget on Dell Thunder
- Engadget on Dell Froyo
- Engadget on Dell Smoke
- Engadget on Dell Aero
The Dell phones run Windows Phone 7 or Android OS and seem to be in the running as far as specs go.
Needless to say I was a bit surprised last night with the flurry of activity.
Dell definitely wants back into the game - so should we let them? :)
