Dell Streak Receives OS Upgrade
Owners of the Dell Streak, will be able to take advantage of a new and improved tablet experience, when an update to the Android 2.1 operating system is released on Tuesday.
We have already had a look as the Streak, and we have liked what we have seen so far. The only thing we thought it could improve on was the old Android 1.6 OS.
The new operating system for the Streak will allow 720p recording from the rear facing camera, and multi touch support for pinch and zoom gestures. The new OS also eases up on document editing using the Quick Office application, and provides support for multiple mail accounts.
Also improved is the look and feel of the phone dialer for managing calls, application compatibility for apps in the Android Market requiring Android 2.0+, and speed and performance optimisation. The Android 2.1 Eclair upgrade makes the Streak a better proposition that it was before.
It is still yet to be announced when Dell Australia will release The Streak in this country

Dell Launches Aero Smartphone In The US
Global computer manufacturing giant Dell released its smart phone offering in the US for the first time as it seeks to capture market share in the segment which is predicted to eventually grow even larger than the market for personal computers.
The Round Rock Texas based company launched the Aero smartphone in the US on Tuesday, which is powered by the Android operating system, and the phone will be priced at US$100 on AT&T’s mobile network.
The device features a 3.5 inch screen and comes bundled with a five megapixel camera, weighing in at 104 grams, which makes it one of the lightest smartphones available according to Dell.
Ron Garriques an executive with the company says the Aero is designed “to help people find new ways to connect with friends and express themselves socially” using built in features such as Facebook, You Tube and Twitter apps.
The company first waded into the smartphone market late last year, when it released the mini 3 in China. Earlier this year the company then launched The Streak, a five inch hybrid tablet/smartphone. Both offerings also run on Android.
It is still not yet known when Dell Australia will launch smartphones in the country.

Dell Experiences Sizzling Growth In India
Global computer manufacturing giant Dell experienced sizzling growth in India during the quarter ending June, capturing the top spot in the branded PC market in that country from Hewlett Packard, which has traditionally been the top selling manufacturer in India for five consecutive years.
Dell’s President for global consumer, small and medium business Steve Felice, said that revenue from India during the quarter rose 77 per cent, whilst unit shipments leapt by 90 per cent compared with the same time period in the previous year.
Mr. Felice said that growth in India was now originating from the consumer and small and medium business segment.
“We have been consistently No. 1 in market share in the large enterprise segment. Now we are beginning to see a similar performance in the other segments,” he said.
Mr. Felice claims that in the consumer segment, the Round Rock Texas based company was only a percentage point behind traditional market leader HP, and that India now delivered $1 billion in revenue for the company.
The momentum in Dell sales has continued to grow ever since it first set up a manufacturing facility in India four years ago. According to Mr. Felice Dell has no need to expand its capacity in the country, since it had more than enough existing capacity from its current facility.
Dell Australia is the second ranked computer manufacturer in Australia.

Dell Acquires Storage Solution Provider
Computer manufacturing giant Dell has reached an agreement to acquire the virtualised storage solutions company 3PAR for US$1.15 billion, as the Roudn Rock Texas based company seeks to expand its data management solutions offering.
3PAR is a pioneer of solutions for multi tenant cloud computing environments, which help businesses spend only on the storage required.
Dell believes that the acquisition will enable it to provide solutions to its customers, that contain at least a 50 per cent cost reduction in data management, which Dell says could be as high as 90 per cent in savings of storage administration costs.
“3PAR brings the same values of performance, agility and ease-of-use to higher end, virtualised storage deployments as EqualLogic does for the entry-level and mid-range, rounding out our industry-leading solutions portfolio,” said Brad Anderson, Dell senior vice president for the Enterprise Product Group.
“With Dell we combine a powerful, virtualised storage platform with an outstanding distribution network to deliver this value to an even broader set of customers,” added David Scott, president and chief executive of 3PAR.
3PAR was formed in 1999, and it is expected that Dell’s acquisition of the company will be completed by the end of the year with Dell paying $18 a share.
