Dell's plan is to surf.

Mobile Internet devices are considered to be the growth segment in the IT market, ranging from the iPhone to Netbook. Somewhere in between, gerüchtelt the "Wall Street Journal," Dell wants to position itself - with a Google Android-surfboard for Chen pocket.

 

The Wall Street Journal is one of the most commonly better-informed newspapers in the world and not necessarily in the category of rumors Catapult: When the "WSJ" unconfirmed news ventilated, commonly derived from the "well-informed circles." What might be something that someone wants to launch - or the mouth could not hold.

This time it is equal to "two people who saw early prototypes" and "WSJ" could tell what Dell because supposedly planning. The device resembles Apple's iPhone, but is slightly larger and does not have phone functionality, but is only for the use of the Internet. As Google's Android operating system serving platform, as the chips were typical smartphone ARM CPUs installed.

In short, Dell plans said to surf boards for the pocket.

The wheel would be the Americans can not just reinvent. "Mobile Internet Device (MID) is a 2007 from Intel already defined, moderately successful device class, in which up to now a product range of Nokia's Internet tablet 'N810 on gigabytes M528 Atom surfboard to Hagenuk rather fußlahmen Pocket Surfer many tummelt, which has hitherto hardly a customer as a necessity for everyday digital discovered. Of the also haves mobile media players with Internet features differentiate the devices primarily through the cellular connection to the network - most small Surfgeräte need a W-Lan. The MID concept was developed by major market players, but so far little and pushed Dell could trust such a thing for larger buyers to make interesting.

A third Plaudertasche from Dell enterprise circles is the 'WSJ' Reporters will still have set that the device later this year on the market could be - if Dell does not plan to let fall. This, we speculate pertly once, it could also depend on how the response to the so-prominent "geleakte" message out: Often, the transition between rumor launched a targeted marketing message, and perfectly smooth. A cheaper option, the potential demand of a technical device to find out there is very little.
