Dell's upcoming Windows 7 tablet might not hit store shelves until fall

Dell's upcoming Windows 7 tablet might not hit store shelves until fall, a new report claims.
Citing an anonymous source, Forbes is reporting that Dell plans to launch its 10-inch Windows 7-based tablet as early as September.
Dell hasn't confirmed exactly when it might launch its Windows 7 tablet. When the company unveiled the device in February, it said that the tablet would hit store shelves by the middle of 2011. That announcement preceded a leak of Dell's reported "tablet roadmap," which indicated that the company could launch its Windows 7 tablet as early as mid-May. The roadmap also included mention of a Windows 8 tablet that could hit store shelves Touch Screen Monitors in the first quarter of 2012.
The PC maker declined to comment on Forbes' report.
According to Dell, its Windows 7 tablet is designed for those "who need greater mobility, as well as IT organizations that demand control, security, manageability, and integration with existing infrastructure investments." It will feature an Intel processor.
Dell also said in February that it plans to launch a 10-inch Android-based tablet as well, though it didn't provide many details on that device. The company currently sells the 5-inch and 7-inch Streak Tablet PCs. Both of those devices run Android.
Dell recently announced that it would launch a 10-inch tablet to compliment its 5- and 7-inch slates. However, it looks like we’ll have to wait a bit.Discount Dell inspiron 1525 battery from www.wholesaleeshop.com.au
According to Forbes, the Windows 7-based tablet won’t be launched until “September at the earliest,” but a “Windows 8 tablet” could be on the way early next year too.
Depending on just how early the Windows 8 machine is shipped next year, that could be a small window for two tablet releases. Forbes points out that this unnamed Windows 7 tablet (which may or may not fall within the Streak family) could be intended for a holiday release.
A September debut would make sense if that were the case, but if this is truly a business-minded tablet (especially compared to the Streak tablets), then a big holiday Compaq nc6000 batteryblowout wouldn’t really make any sense. It’s more likely that Dell just needs more time to work on this tablet, which is fine if it turns out to be a stellar competitor for the HP Slate and similar gadgets. If it is a professional tablet, then it doesn’t have to go up against the slew of consumer tablets being launched this spring, such as Apple’s iPad 2, the LG G-Slate, and the HTC Evo View 4G.
