Michael Dell Shows TechCrunch The Dell Mini 5

[bewildebeest]

So how did this sell again?

[naterod1719]

ok i see this as more of a competitor against the ipod/iphone but i also see the ipad a a big ass ipod touch. Since this thing has a wayy better camera, i will get it as long as it is not too expensive i heard it was gonna be like 1,100 dollars for this is this true? id rather get a 4g ipod touch for 300 dollars than this.

[Zwank36]

Dual core iphone > android.

[korn74]

Best comment goes to the Hacking Dutchman and his Dual Core iPhone processor lol.

[tfal23]

He has psycho-eyes

[TS7019]

SWEET!!! Keep the price down and I'm buyin' it!

[mizzn88]

omg !! I'm sooo buying this!!guys, any info about marketing this is sweden?and when?

[michaelovesrh]

can this device make calls???? or even send and receive text messages???

[JULESRULES9969]

@michaelovesrh yes it can make calls by what i have heard

[michaelovesrh]

@JULESRULES9969 ...yeah from the skype app.... but it sucks for recieving calls...and why would i wanna have to give people my skype ID instead of an actual phone number..

[adrianmignogna]

@JULESRULES9969 yes it can, this should be a smartphone-tablet...

[HackingDutchman]

Can this beat the apple iphones dual core processor?

[Oweboy1960]

@HackingDutchman

Lol what?

[mz3GT]

@HackingDutchman Lol since when is the iphone processor a dual core cpu? wow people will believe anything they hear without questioning it lmao

[vatossan]

i was about to buy the ipad,but i hoped it had a usb external port somewhere,BUT NO!!.forget this $800 something crappy pad.

[hustletv]

I love DELL. Stand Up Company.

[HackingDutchman]

how much gigabite has this device? andis ther a option to put a micro sd card in?

[Jimmb0w]

what i saw and read about this sounds nice. i think, when the price is ok, i'll get one :)

[XanaviArai]

Thats Micheal Dell you clowns, the founder.

[SubcutaneouslyFelix]

I think I'll get this. It looks very decent, and Android is almost always amazing (glares at Motoblur -_-). It'll be a birthday gift. ^-^

[djmusic121]

Are you kidding? Motoblur ftw!

But I have to admit that the Dell Mini 5 looks nice.

[SubcutaneouslyFelix]

motoblur is a sad excuse for an android.

Especially on that flip thing.  Gaw. It's so uggfly.

[vommwa]

IS it me, or is this demo just shady? Guy with some funny gloves showing off a device. The "you're gonna sell it to me for $100 now" comment falls right in place!

[m6azeez]

it is too big to be phone

[vommwa]

it's a phone, among other things...

[hiyaitsmejoel1]

is it like an iphone where you can call and stuff, or like an ipod touch/ipad, where its just internet based?

[rayofvictory]

It is a phone second, tablet first. A nice blend!

[inheavenn]

this phone needs to come out already.

[rodman332]

can you only buy it as a phone? or is it going to be like the iphone/itouch where there is a non phone version?

[maxood007]

Its too big! How come they call it "Mini"?

[moffe247]

because it's small...

It's not called the Dell Nano 5

[lazarus921]

@maxood007 well it's smaller than IPad isn't it?

[mafo5000]

thts awesome!

[ChrisXMetal]

I really want this but being so huge, I'm not sure how pocketable it is.

[chriscem]

Indeed

[snowman4839]

hahaha, he's awesome. It has a snapdragon :-((. OMAP > snapdragon but awe well... Still really want one though...

[korgoth33]

Macs are like the cute puppy that has 3 legs. Its amazing in every way, but there are many things it just isnt able to do.

[zenhemmo]

@korgoth33

What are you on? Name me one thing Macs can't do!

Unix (Linux, Mac OSX) > Winblows.

[snowman4839]

Install windows software

[GT35R]

nah windows is better

[Cypern]

Cool that wass Michael Dell...

PS: I love Android so go home Apple, u dont have a chance

[sxyjavon]

Don't have a chance? That's laughable. However, I do think this is one bad ass product.

[pikken01]

Looks dead boring. I will go for the iPhone.

[pachinko1972]

Still u iphone cripple crap where the sun don't shine dumb ass fanboy...

[bcta302]

Hello there sexy girl, I wanna touch you...

[confusedchild1992]

=]

[erkanen]

This is absolutely crazy, wtf in a few months? makes u believe in the devil and all sorts of conspieracy quite frankly. Wtf is he walking around with this for?

[koriko88]

Conspiracies?  What?

[HokiesACC]

@erkanen Probably because he's testing it out to make sure it works properly.

[elliott12591]

Because he is the Founder and CEO of DELL. I hope that clear your question. Sometimes you just have to put a little more thought into things.

[Lawtsy15]

the end is not near for apple the you will be shocked at how capable it is. i Will FOR SURE PICKING ONE UP!

[IsisMollyO]

A background from Digital Blasphemy! Sweet!

[Lawtsy15]

I am getting the ipad over this for sho

[Chrisfromlehigh]

1) You're an idiot.

2) Android OS is taking over. iPhone had a good run, but the end is near.

[sticklaubo]

@Chrisfromlehigh no never! iphone, ipad and so on.. are the best and cheapest mobile thinks on the world!

[rogueelite]

looks cool, if its cheaper than the nexus and doesn't have the cancellation fees, I would buy Dell for sure.

[streetdegree]

looks like a blackberry storm by design. The front anyways.

[osiel1996]

que es eso?

telefono , camara aipod o que pedo

[TopGearrules]

nah, im getting an ipad, not that shit!

[zer0suitsamus]

[flyingasdaboy]

lol that guy is worth $12.3 billion dollars!.

[zmarine33]

You gonna sell it to me for 100$ now @ lol

[spidimuffin]

they so copied de iphone

[lolsaLlama]

@spidimuffin: Your comment just makes you look like you know nothing of the mobile phone market. Android >> iPhone OS. Also that phones layout is the same as the Motorola Dext.

[zer0suitsamus]

lol not really, its called a 'tablet'

and the iphone isnt the first phone with a touch screen...

[TheAteston]

awesome thing

[thepappytube]

...Well that wasn't very informative...

[thedevil2020]

The Michael Dell. Bet he did'nt make that in his garage though.

[HytopDDR]

lol Dell already makes shitty ass computers. Why would they set themselves up for failure getting into the cell phone world?

[sm1tty5569]

@HytopDDR how does dell make crappy computers?

they make great netbooks and they make all the alien ware computers

[thedevil2020]

Yes they make good computers otherwise they would be out of business. Some people on here talk so much crap... ignore them.

[HytopDDR]

wow i didn't know they made alien ware.props for that dell! shows how much i know about pc. i'm an apple guy...guess once you're used to mac OS everything that was windows seems like crap. i know my dells always crashed on me..probably too much porn eh?

[mastershake1000]

Well build your own PC if your Dell always crashed, and if you can't build it buy a custom one... you will never regret.

[sm1tty5569]

well thats probably because you buy crappy computers.

if you spent the amount of money u spent on your mac for a pc, it would run just as smoothly as the mac.

[HytopDDR]

windows will never run as smooth as macs OS

[sm1tty5569]

@HytopDDR

hmm

well see i just ordered my first mac (:

a mac mini

lets see how good OSX really is (:

[HytopDDR]

give it a week and send me a comment back telling me how you like it. i'm almost postive that you'll love it. haven't had one problem out of mine, and i've had it about a year.

[HytopDDR]

How's that mac coming along?

[sm1tty5569]

well i shipped into canada from the states using UPS

and now theyre trying to charge me a $120 brokager fee for filling out a couple papers at the border for me

which is bs so i'm trying to find away around paying that

just a heads up for people:

never ship over the boarder with UPS

if your shipping over the boarder to Canada, ship with U.S. Postal Service. They charge a flat fee of 5dollars

It sux that i had to find out the hard way -.-

[crumcon]

go back to your moms belly.

win 7 runs faster than snow leopard on the same machine with the same specs

[HytopDDR]

lol windows wishes they had an OS good as snow leopard! Mac > PC

[snowman4839]

Linux > PC > Poop > Satan > Mac

[sm1tty5569]

you realize mac, linux and windows are all PC's (personal computers)

;)

[snowman4839]

no, they're actually all operating systems. operating systems run on PC's. That's like calling Ford, Toyota, Honda, and Ferrari the same because they're all cars...

[moffe247]

they are cars...

[mstrlnk7]

@snowman4839 But...they are all cars...

[desposyy]

you really like slid shows huh?

[HytopDDR]

Slid shows?

[dsouzand]

is that the iPAD?

[HytopDDR]

are you fucking serious? lol

[dsouzand]

loooool

[saudikid]

that dell dude is fucking rich lol

[ryanonfire]

At Davos :D

[SexCyberGuideCom]

thanks

[mrsbrown1357]

wait, is it a phone?

[sm1tty5569]

you can use it as a phone yeah

[FReeStyLeMaSTeR]

dell guy is kinda douche

[mrsbrown1357]

its because he cant say much about it because its suppose to me a secret

[XIRONTIGERX]

Maemo 5 ripoff

[nbwo]

Am I right in thinking you can't make telephone calls on this?

[japazilian]

happily, no you are not, check out some more mini 5 vids on yt, one shows a call coming in.

[reinux]

no :D

[monstercameron]

what a bitch! idk

[Scruge21]

this thing is an all around epic win. infinitely more useful than apples new tampon. 85% chance i'll be picking one of these up when they release.

[Fotenks]

lol,  techcrunch and michael dell FTW!

[frexxx]

"one of those dell guys. you're the sales guy, right?"

thats fail. :(

[monkeyturddelight]

@frexxx he was kidding you idiot

[Fotenks]

you mad dumb son, mad dumb

[lungjian]

if this is released w/ AT&T GSM (3G), I'll buy one and carry it as my sole phone. It might even become my primary mobile computing device if it can support a bluetooth or USB keyboard. Oh, and it needs VGA out.

[tipoomaster]

Huh, a 5 inch device can support flash and multitasking...Makes me wonder about a certain 10 inch one recently anounced *cough* ipad *cough cough*. But no, Apple wants you to buy everything through Itunes, so no flash for the iPad.

[RyanAndersonUGM]

That's pretty useless. Why get this instead of a smartphone? This is another device like the Zune in which geekfreaks will slobber about it, but won't actually buy one.

[times9]

now this is wot im talkn bout,willis. looks sexy and that dell guy had some wicked teeth lol

does this have tegra 2,obviously?

[tonfra]

send me a device Mr. Dell...thank you

[GypsyRobotic]

this look much better than the retarded Apple iPad :-)

[majdijr]

@GypsyRobotic

at least its portable and HAS multi-tasking capability

[Feircejaguar]

i just wish there would be a way to install Windows 7 on this...

[suoko1]

is it LTE equipped ?

[ChrisXMetal]

There aren't even any networks using LTE yet, only wimax, and even then it's so sporadic they have failed to bring coverage to the 4th largest city in America, Houston, Tx. LTE/Wimax won't even be widespread enough to matter for another 3 years or so I'm guessing.

[Charbax]

Archos 5 Internet Tablet has been on the market for 4 months and is available now in Radio Shack for $249 unlocked.

[zer0suitsamus]

lol this has multitasking, flash AND can even make calls!

[VegasAcer]

He said nothing about it.

[philly1537]

greate design i like it

[ezequielsrivas]

iPad killer :D

[philly1537]

@ezequielsrivas ipad was dead when they said 16GB for 500 and no usb port and no multitasking

[wwwmuscle]

awesome....word out to ed en colombia.

i want one of these

[rolexx]

Already have mine preordered. This IS the iPhone killer we've all be waiting for.

[TruthFLA]

@rolexx dont get me wrong i hate iphones too. But how many times are we gonna label something an IPOD or IPhone killer. The IPOD craze led to the Iphone craze. All other phones will need years of exposure, marketing and quality models to even put a dent in IPODs marketshare. BlkBerry is the only real competitor for IPhone right now. And Blkberry competes by not trying to be an IPhone. It focuses on its audience because it actually has a loyal following. Loyality takes close a decade to develop.

[BrokenBjartur]

Fascinating. I haven't seen anything about this before, do you guys like have connections 'n' stuff?

[jonnybryce]

This is beautiful I'm ditching my 3GS for it.
