on 02/07/2010, filed in Home > Computers

Are you still intrigued by the mystique surrounding the Android-powered Dell Mini 5 tablet? Most of us are looking forward to seeing the device being widely available and fiddling with it ourselves. The good news is that the device has taken one step closer to being available to everybody, as it has received approval from the FCC. From the filing, you’ll note that it sports Wi-Fi, HSPA connectivity (which is compatible with AT&T, Rogers, Telus and Bell). There isn’t any official release date just yet, but hopefully Dell won’t be keeping this one away from us for too long. From the information we’ve dug up before this, the device will most likely also sport a 5-inch touchscreen display with a 5-megapixel camera and SIM card slot.

Android: Android is the mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license. You can follow Ubergizmo on Android with Google Currents.

Dell: Dell Inc. is one of largest technology corporations in the world. Michael Dell started the company in 1984, and it sold computers built from stock components. Previously named PCs Limited, the company created the "Turbo PC," the company's first computer. In 1988, the company changed its name to Dell Computer Corporation. Dell sells personal computers, servers, data storage devices, network switches, software, and computer peripherals. Dell acquired computer hardware company Alienware in 2006, and Perot Systems, an information technology services provider, in 2009. Dell is also considered as the third largest PC vendors in the world, next to HP and Lenovo (as of 12/30/2013).
