> Amit Midha of Dell also indicated that his company plans to launch “a whole slew” of new products in the next 6-12 months, including a 10-inch tablet closer in size to Apple’s 9.7-inch iPad. Midha said his company will offer products in multiple sizes, including three and four inches, and some of them will run Microsoft Windows instead of Android.

So the Dell strategy boils down to “release one of everything and see which one does well.” That’s how you lead the industry, let me tell you.
No unification on platform; no unification on form factor. Just a “slew” of products that have little to nothing in common. What could possibly be wrong with that plan?
