Daft Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I love the look of this. I was going to upgrade to an iPhone when the fourth gen came out but this looks damn slick. Latest news, Dell Mini 5 will run 'something newer' than Android 1.6 at launch We've been able to confirm in a chat with Dell spokesfolks this evening that the lovely Mini 5 won't ship with the Android 1.6 build (also known as Donut) that we've seen so far -- instead, it'll be running "something newer." They wouldn't say what that newer version would be -- and to be fair, we're not sure they even knew since Android is always a moving target on account of Google's breakneck development pace -- but it was specifically mentioned that Flash compatibility was something they had on their radar, suggesting that something really, really fresh might be needed. Then again, they also mentioned that the giant phone / MID / thingamajig is going to be totally upgradeable, something that fellow Android skinners HTC and Motorola have both had to reassure the Android-buying public over. How this all shakes out remains to be seen, but let's put it this way: Eclair, at minimum, seems to be a lock by the time the Mini 5 is on a shelf near you. http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/dell-mini-5-will-run-something-newer-than-android-1-6-at-launc/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
