perhaps I'm one of the few, but I have absolutely ZERO interest in this. I don't understand the purpose. is it a phone? is it trying to be a tablet? it is a next gen Nokia 880?
as for the front facing camera for video calling, how long do they expect people to hold up their hand in the air to face the camera? is there a stand?
what's the battery life? storage? I'm surprised people are getting so excited about this when they know so little about it.

@MrX8503 exactly the reason why I will be buying this.. I can not put in my pocket 10 inch slate.. and I don't like 3" screens for browsing, or use as GPS map device - too small. 5" is the answer - still pocketable, but big enough to use for browsing or maps, *AND* I can make occasional calls
@higherdestiny hahahaha, omg you're so clever!!! /s yea, no. the iPad would be the device I'm actually getting. this Dell "thing", well, not so much. it's a big yawn as far as I'm concerned. it's marginally bigger than my iPhone and will have half the user experience, most likely. Knowing Dell, the'll issue software updates maybe once a year for it. Let's face it, this is most likely an experiment for Dell, much like their MP3 player Jukebox was (god what a piece of shit- I can't believe I wasted money on it).
I'm going to assume for a minute you're passably intelligent. I'll assume you know what the internet is and the kinds of information and services you can access on it. I assume you know what a game is and can play them, or you're proficient in the use of say a calculator...or calendar. I'm sure you're aware of the abilities of apps and how they would add functionality.
Using all of these assumptions, I can further assume you're either trying to be funny or my first assumption is totally wrong.
@digitalgopher iphone os has twice the capability of android os? and it IS android, so you can root it and install the update anyway. btw, i know a certain other company that releases software updates exactly one a year...
