Dell Mini 5 application filed to the FCC
Daniel Carey
One of the most intriguing devices currently floating around cyberspace, is without a doubt the Dell Mini 5. The device was first heard about at CES 2010, however, information pertaining to the device (i.e. internals) was never revealed. Chatter was quiet for a while, until the guys from TechCrunch decided to raid CEO Michael Dell (once again, he gave nothing up). As it was clear that information pertaining to this device was going to remain quiet, many gave up hope; that is until now.
Way back in the confines of 2009, it was rumoured that this device would be manufactured by Qsida; well it appears that Engadget has some pretty solid intel; the device was recently filed with the FCC under Qsida's name. Above on the left is the label submitted today, filing a device called the Qsida M01M; on the right is a pictorial of a device in Shenzhen with the same name. Described by RF reports as a "mobile internet device" with support for WiFi, HSPA on WCDMA II and V (there the radios needed to support AT&T, Rogers, and Bell & Tellus) -- No word on any other radios, however, if this device wishes to come Down Under (specifically to me) a GSM radio is must.
