What can't it do?

Not wanting an iPod touch and not wanting an iPad drove me to research this product. It can be a phone, but can it NOT be a phone? Will it be sold as a phone or just a MID?

I'm sure you could buy it and use it without a SIM. Maybe DELL will release it with 3G as well as a WiFi only version?

What kind of usage were you looking to do with this?

Basically what the wifi iPad can do. But if it is going to be a MID device, I wonder if Dell will force the usage of 3G or phone services.

I'm really hoping Dell comes out with two versions, a 3G/phone version for $399, and a non-3G/phone version for $299.

As far as I'm concerned, the only thing that will make this device fail is price. $499 is the absolute upper-bounds for it, if it's any more, then I'll start looking at the other Snapdragon offerings coming down the pike.

Honestly, we don't know anything that this device actually CAN do since virtually no legit info is available. We know it's 5 inches and will run dell's skin on top of android, but that's about it....


There are rumors that there will be a 3G version, phone version, etc.

I just want good codec support. Good codec support and a snappy interface and I'm effin sold.
