Dell displays Android powered slate PC
Las Vegas: In a move to explore another type of device designed for computing on the go, Dell displayed a small slate computer that could hit the market this year. Dell's slate has a 5-inch screen and runs on Google's Android mobile operating system. The company did not to provide other details of the gadget, or say definitively if it could be available in the market, reports Reuters. The slate and tablet PCs are very popular at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week, ahead of a highly anticipated device from Apple that is widely expected to be unveiled later this month. Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer displayed a Hewlett-Packard's slate that was considerably larger than Dell's, which looked like a large smartphone. Michael Tatelman, Dell's Vice President of consumer sales and marketing, said the company is testing a number of different screen sizes as it pushes further into the mobile market. The company recently released its first smartphone, the Mini 3, which is on sale in China and Brazil, and will be available in the U.S. on AT&T's network.
