  • The Dell Adamo XPS really is discontinued even though it’s still available for purchase

    The Dell Adamo XPS really is discontinued even though it’s still available for purchase

    Let me catch you up. We received a tip back on Monday indicating that the Adamo XPS had disappeared from Dell.com. This of course caught our attention as the super-thin Dell was just announced back in late October and only available for purchase since December. We of course checked it out and found that the XPS [...]

  • Motorola Droid and Dell Adamo latest to get Gorilla glass

    Motorola Droid and Dell Adamo latest to get Gorilla glass

    Corning's darn-near-impenetrable Gorilla glass certainly isn't new -- in fact, we spied it in a few of Motion Computing's tablets just a few months ago -- but it's still not commonplace on mainstream gizmos. Yet. SmartPlanet sat down with Dr. Donnell Walton, senior applications engineer at Corning, in order to discuss the merits of the display technology as well as its importance in the gadget space. The discussion also mentioned that both Motorola's Droid and Dell's Adamo (not to mention Cowon's S9 PMP) are sporting the glass, which acts to make displays "damage-resistant." Not surprisingly, the company is seeing huge demand in the smartphone arena, where touchscreen-centric phones are being shoved into pockets at random and then costing manufacturers big bucks as return rates creep up. It's a pretty interesting read if you're into that type of thing, and yes, we did just give you permission to try and split your Droid display wide open in a moment of frustration. Just don't count on Motorola to accept that as a valid excuse for your RMA.

    [Thanks, Jeff]

    Dell Adamo XPS looks like it could cut the air in half

    The industry is all a buzz with the latest entry in the "I'm the thinnest laptop" competition. The latest Dell Adamo is definitely a strong contender, at 9.99 mm at some points. Of course, that's just the official figure. I would have tested it myself but I forgot my calipers.

    Dell updates the Adamo Desire

    With the Adamo XPS getting all the play recently, Dell quietly updated the Desire model with a slight performance boost. The original model, apparently named Desire, now rocks a 2.1GHz Core 2 Duo SL9600 CPU, 4GB of DDR3 RAM, 256GB SSD, and of course, Windows 7 Home Premium. Chances are Dell was sitting on this update until it could ship Windows 7 with it.
