Dell Mini 5 First Of "A Family Of Tablets"
"The first one is a 5-inch screen but we want to scale that up to a variety of screen sizes" Choubey explained, describing the Mini 5 as a device "optimized for media consumption." However Dell are also looking to more productivity applications, suggesting that "there's no reason why you can't use the tablet to take notes in class"; that would likely be using an on-screen keyboard rather than stylus-driven handwriting recognition, such as we've seen before on tablet PCs.
The new range will be accompanied by cloud-based services intended to make users' data more accessible. "At a very basic level, you would have a service that will share content across the devices seamlessly and have it in the cloud" Choubey suggests. Dell are still keeping quiet on exactly when we can expect the Mini 5 to launch, how much it might cost or indeed what its production name will be.
