Apple announced the launch of their iPad earlier this year to great excitment, so as expected other companies are launching their own tablets to rival Apple. Priya Ganapati from Wired reports on Dell's own 'Mini 5 Tablet'...
"Say the words "tablet computer" and ten quid says it's Apple's iPad that springs to mind. But that doesn't mean other companies aren't busy building their own version of a touch-enabled, multimedia-sporting, slab of portable computing goodness.
Dell's first effort at a tablet will be the Mini 5 (a name that is still in beta) -- a slice of plastic and glass with a 127mm (5-inch) capacitive touchscreen that according to Michael Dell will debut "in a couple of months."
The Mini 5 will house a 5-megapixel camera on the back, a separate front-facing camera (suck it, iPad) that can be used for video conferencing, a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity and a 1GHz Qualcomm processor. The 127mm screen also means it will be closer to the Sony PSP in its form factor than the longer legal notepad design of the iPad."
