The Dell Mini 5 made a brief appearance at the CES 2010 gadget extravaganza earlier this month and it looks like it is due to arrive much sooner than all of us expected. That is if Dell chief and founder Michael Dell’s word is to be seriously and I think we can do that. He looks like a man who has more self restraint than Microsoft’s current chief Steve Ballmer. Michael demoed the upcoming Dell Mini 5 tablet himself to the folks over at Techcrunch, who caught up with him in Davos, Switzerland. Mr. Dell is attending a attending the World Economic Forum there.

Folks at Apple are not silly, even though the name of the latest product might strike as so. They have a definite plan and they are willing to put their $50 billion yearly revenue behind it to get it done. As for the name, was the iPod any better? But it is iconic now. So in a few months after the first iPads start shipping, people are going to forget all about the jokes that they cracked and concentrate on the device that is meant to become the device for content consumption of all kinds.

It actually looks like a large iPhone but it handles very differently than an iPhone.

As the internet continues spreading through the nooks and crannies of this tiny little planet of ours and as bandwidth continues increase, data consumption delay is going down everyday and things are pushing more and more towards real time data consumption. The major boost to this was definitely twitter and now that search engines have adopted real time search results, the world is now expecting information to reach them as it is posted across the web. That includes social networks that have opened up their data, like Facebook and services like twitter, Posterous, etc. However, displaying focussed real time information wasn’t easy, till a new crop of start ups made it easy for us. There was OneRiot and then there Collecta.

A grainy shot of a new kind of phone is doing the rounds of the Internet. It claims to be images of the next big phone form Motorola — the MOTOSPLIT. If it is indeed genuine, then the name is quite suitable. That is because this an very different form factor that requires the phone to have three separate parts joined together. It is a new kind of slider that has a full QWERTY keypad sliced in half and added onto either side of a screen in landscape orientation. They are stowed away under the screen and can be pulled out on wither sides, making this one wide phone!

It is here and it is real — free navigation for as long as your device lasts. After Google freed up navigation (and gave a decided jolt to the personal navigation industry), Nokia has stepped in to do the same. They have freed up navigation on their Ovi Maps and it will now ship with all their supported handsets. After remaining far behind on the smartphone competition, it seems like Nokia is finally showing some signs of catching up.

Here’s something that I know a lot f you have been waiting for — a tablet MID that does not cost a bomb. Hiding in the depths of CES 2010 was a company called HOTT and their MD700 tablet MID. As you can guess from the name — no one really knew they existed. But they had a tablet on display that caught the attention of some tech journos who were at the event. As a result, I now get to tell you about an HD capable tablet that is extremely cheap and affordable. The bulk rate for the tablet is $129! So I guess it is okay to expect it at around $200 in retail.

Intel had announced late last year at their annual Intel Developer Forum (IDF) that they will soon start an app store that will centralize the fruits of the Atom Developers Program SDK. That app store is now fast coming into existence. The store is called App Up — It is hard to come up with a good name when you enter so late in to the whole central application store game. Apple made it go mainstream and Google and the others just joined in later. Continue reading ‘Intel’s Moblin App Store Coming Up Fast’
