Dell Mini 5 To Take on iPad With Amazon

Dell’s upcoming Mini 5, which was earliest shown openly at this years CES, will be made accessible in a range of colors and will also feature addition with a host of Amazon services, according to a lately leaked internal document.

The leaked information, which was originally posted on Engadget, details that the Android-powered tablet may be accessible in a number of “premium finishes.” The document also mentions thatthe Mini 5 will be accessible in a range of colors and designs.

Beyond the personalization options, the first leaked page unhappily didn’t offer several other latest information concerning Dell’s upcoming tablet, simply listing its features, for example the front-facing video camera, dock connector, and capacitive touch-screen. However, a second leaked page offers some extra interesting tidbits that were previously unidentified.

The second page information a content partnership that Dell may be entering with Amazon. The document states that the Mini 5 will incorporate with Amazon’s Kindle, MP3 and Video services, and will comprise a Kindle reader app

Could this partnership with Amazon be seen as a move to compete with the upcoming iPad? Apple’s tablet has the iTunes plus iBooks Stores, so supporting Amazon’s services could help Dell bring something like to the table.

For those eagle-eyed readers, you might have spotted that the leaked certification refers to the Snapdragon-powered device as the ‘Streak’, a name that first surfaced late last year. As for whether this is just the interior codename for the upcoming product, or an official change gone from the Mini 5 moniker is at present unknown.

Dell has yet to verify a solid release date or final price for the device.
