Besides the fact that Dell will launch an Android phone in the near future, the company will also release an MID next year. And it looks like Dell will be partnering up with AT&T to launch a whole mini-tablet series.

Screen size is said to vary between 4- to 12-inches and they are likely to come with features like 3G, WiFi connectivity, a 5-megapixel camera, dual LED flash, microSD support and a 1,300mAh battery. We don’t have actual confirmations and we have no idea when these MIDs will be launched. But at least we do know they exist so we’ll be looking for more info for you in the following months.

I’m not certain why Dell is planning to release its first smartphone, the Mini3, to only Cina Mobile and Brazil’s Claro, but the Chinese version will use OPhone, China Mobile’s version of Google Android. It won’t have Wi-Fi in China, just like the iPhone, but it is planned to have it “soon”.

I’m not certain of the Wi-Fi in Brazil. My source was also silent on if this Dell phone was coming to America. Considering all the Android phones we’ve seen in the past few weeks, is there a point to be made by bringing the Mini 3 here?

Dell has today announced a new rugged tablet entitled the Latitude XT2 XFR, picture above.

This tablet will feature a 12.1-inch multitouch display, a Core 2 Duo SU9600 processor, up to 5GB of RAM, either a regular harddrive or SSD and the option of either Windows Vista or XP which is curious considering Windows 7 just came out.

If you want to pick this rugged device up you’re going to have to shell out $3,599 as that is the price point it starts at.

At just over half an inch in thickness, the Dell Latitude Z will surely be the thinnest laptop on the block, but what really sets it apart are its features like wireless charging and wireless docking station.  The notebook can be charged by placing it on a special stand that creates an inductive charging field, eliminating the need for a power cord completely, charging it at the same speed as a conventional cord.  The wireless docking station supports any USB device and features sockets for audio jacks and placing the big Z within 9 feet of the station will give users wireless access to these devices.  Dell has also put in a secondary motherboard with an ARM processor, a WiFi chip, and a graphics card running Linux to give users basic tools like email, browsing, and even VPN networking, and conserves battery power to run up to 48 hours.

Despite us clearly seeing the phone in the flesh (and assuming it was made official) Dell represenatives have stepped forward to say that the phone you saw, wasn’t actually a real phone. In fact, they are saying the Dell Mini 3i we saw was nothing more than a “proof of concept” to let everyone know that they are in fact making a Android/oPhone based handset for China Mobile.

Regardless of what PR stunt Dell is trying to pull here, I think it’s safe to assume that we will in fact be seeing the Mini 3i hit China Mobile at some point in the future. We’ll just have to wait for Dell to come forth and tell us they were kidding, and that the phone we previously saw is actually real.

It seems that those blurry pictures we got of Dell’s rumored smartphone were real as today the phone was officially revealed in China. The device itself is called the Mini 3i and is running Google’s Android operating system. The device, however, does not feature WiFi or 3G connectivity and instead just EDGE.

If that little tidbit didn’t turn you away, read on for the rest of the specs:

• GSM/GPRS/EDGE
• 3.5″ 640×360 touchscreen LCD
• OTA
• Microsoft Exchange
• Google, AIM, Yahoo, MSN
• 3 MP camera with auto-focus, flash, 8x digital zoom and 30fps video recording capabilities
• USB 2.0, Bluetooth 2.0
• A-GPS
• Software QWERTY keyboard, handwriting recognition, multi touch UI
• microSD slot

Unfortunately there is no word on when (if ever) we will see Dell’s Mini 3i hit North American shelves.
