Dell 2011 Roadmap Leaks    [ 17-02-2011 20:04 ]

The good ship Dell has sprung a leak and it's brought with it a forecast of what to expect over the coming year.

The leaked roadmap lays out some of Dell's plans for 2011 and begins with the Venue and Venue Pro, which should be familiar to many already. By May of this year, however, we get into some new territory with the anticipated arrival of the Dell Venue Pro MLK. MLK has no clear meaning at this stage, but some have been speculating that this is in fact the point at which the Venue Pro will receive the Windows Phone update.

The Dell Wrigley is scheduled for July and is a slide out keyboard affair like the Venue Pro. There's a 1 Ghz processor onboard, a 4 inch WVGA screen and an 8 MP camera.

September sees the Dell Hancock, an Android handset and again it's a slide out keyboard effort. Ice Cream seems to be the flavour of Android here and it will be run on a dual-core chip. There is a 4 inch qHD screen, 8 MP camera with 1080p HP recording support and a 1.3 MP front camera for video calls.

By October we have the Dell Millenium, which breaks the trend by having no physical keyboard. It does have a dual-core chip though and again an 8 MP camera with 1080p HP recording support. It is another Android handset and again it will be running Ice Cream.

Kaspersky: Android Will Own 80% Of The Market    [ 17-02-2011 19:38 ]

Eugene Kaspersky has been ruffling some feathers, mostly amongst those without a vested interest in Android, by suggesting that Google's mobile OS will eventually own some 80% of the market.

The other 20% that Android didn't control would be split between the likes of Apple, RIM and Microsoft. Kaspersky, the man behind the eponymous anti-virus software, likened the situation to the desktop computer market:

I believe that if Apple, BlackBerry, Microsoft don’t change their strategy very soon we will soon have the same mobile operating system landscape as we have with computers

Microsoft and IBM famously dominated the home computer market in the 80s and now it seems, according to Kaspersky at least, Qualcomm and Google will do the same thing with smartphones. Of course this is all just speculation and pie in the sky at the moment. However, one thing is true enough, Android continues to rise in popularity, and thus marketshare, with each passing day ...
