If the delay is because of them adding 2.2 then I am all for it. As long as were not talking a mid-late August release.
Why would they add 2.2 when they can just release it with 1.6, and have 2.2 available for upgrade? It's a lot of extra work for Dell. How many units do you think they'd have to upgrade? 5,000? 10,000? 100,000? It is WAY more cost effective to let the end user update it themselves. And it's not a major burden to buyers.
Well, this one could've been more great if its size was more bigger. I mean, 5 inch isn't what you call as a 'tablet'. Streak Latest Impression
Dell has not helped their cause in the US market by not giving a clear release date and details. THis vague marketing strategy has sunk many a prosperous IT firm.
