This is something I know I will buy too as soon as I possibly can, I mostly live inside my car anyway and the 4,3 " of my HD2 never bothered me at all, besides I always use BT for which I have 4 headset and 2 headphones .
This thing seems tailored to my needs, it just remain to see how well (and fast) it will work but so far I'm kinda optimist.]]>Feb 15th 2010 5:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/dell-mini-5-will-run-something-newer-than-android-1-6-at-launc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/dell-mini-5-will-run-something-newer-than-android-1-6-at-launc/http://bit.ly/dell-tablet-features]]>Feb 16th 2010 4:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/dell-mini-5-will-run-something-newer-than-android-1-6-at-launc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/dell-mini-5-will-run-something-newer-than-android-1-6-at-launc/Feb 15th 2010 3:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/dell-mini-5-will-run-something-newer-than-android-1-6-at-launc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/dell-mini-5-will-run-something-newer-than-android-1-6-at-launc/

I have to admit I like running a full winOS on my tablet.

However, WP7 looks like it can "scale up" much better for devices like the Mini better than stuff like the vanilla Android system or iPhoneOS.]]>Feb 15th 2010 3:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/dell-mini-5-will-run-something-newer-than-android-1-6-at-launc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/dell-mini-5-will-run-something-newer-than-android-1-6-at-launc/I disagree.

I guess I meant more from the UI perspective as many of those that are using Android on tablet-type devices are just installing Android on it with the default gigantic clock and icon row interface, and even leaving the phone function accessible.

And with the iPad, we saw how it was just a blown-up iPhone homescreen.

Of course WP7 needs some tweaks for size, but it seems almost ready to go on a Dell Mini sized screen out of the box.]]>Feb 15th 2010 4:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/dell-mini-5-will-run-something-newer-than-android-1-6-at-launc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/dell-mini-5-will-run-something-newer-than-android-1-6-at-launc/Feb 15th 2010 3:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/dell-mini-5-will-run-something-newer-than-android-1-6-at-launc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/dell-mini-5-will-run-something-newer-than-android-1-6-at-launc/
