43 seconds with the Android-powered Dell Mini 5

Ok, enough about the Apple iPad. It seems that the gadget paparazzi managed to grab less than a minute with Michael Dell, and during that time we get a glimpse of the Mini 5 in action. Well, depending on what you consider action, that is. Mr. Dell swiped through a few screens, showed the 5 megapixel camera on the back and said, “it has a 5 megapixel camera, 3G … anything you want”.

So, there you have it. We have no idea what chip is inside (1GHz Snapdragon?), or whatever else it’s running (rumored WiFi, Bluetooth), but it does seem pretty speedy and looks slick. No word on price but he did say it would be out in “a couple of months”. Depending on price point, this could be one killer device, especially if it’s running the latest Android OS. Check out the quick demo below, thanks to TechCrunch.
