Aside from this, it’s the same device as the original Galaxy Tab. I’m interested to know […]

Dell Duo at Intel booth. CES 2011

Posted on 06 January 2011

My first hands on with the Dell Duo deserves a little post. Yes it’s a little heavy as a tablet and has battery life that doesnt compete with netbooks but its a slick device. With the Samsung Gloria/PC7 on Oaktrail already,  it could have some tough competition.
