Dell working on two new slates

Dell's Greater China president Amit Midha revealed the computer maker is working on at least two new slates, including an Android-based 7" model due within the next few weeks and a 10" model that should be out within six months to a year.
There's more. Midha told the Journal that a 10-inch Dell slate will be out within six months to a year, too, alongside "additional" three-inch and four-inch products—although I'd expect those to be aimed more at the smart phone market, considering their size. The Dell Streak straddles the line between slate and phone as it is. Some of these upcoming devices will run Android, but Midha said some will also run Microsoft software, and Dell is "still considering" the use of Google's Chrome OS.
