It’s been awhile since we’ve heard from Dell on the home entertainment front, but they’ve now released a large 23″ touchscreen all-in-one called the Inspiron One.

To us, the real appeal of this one is its Full HD 1920×1080 resolution, 23-inch display, which produced some pretty stunning HD playback when we saw it in action. Dell’s put a lot of energy into its new Stage touch interface, which consists of different tiled applications.

The Inspiron One starts at R10217.73 and will be available from March 2011 — but before you pull out the wallet, we’d suggest clicking through to WebAntics Online for a full read of all the details and specifications.

I’m pumped to finally get a chance to blog about the Dell Streak tablet device. The 5-inch tablet launched first to customers in the United Kingdom in early June 2010 but South African consumers will now be able to purchase it.

We’ve been selling Dell for 6 years, and I don’t think there’s ever been more buzz around a single product than this. Hardware and design-wise, this thing impresses. Add the ever-increasing capability that Android brings to the equation, and you’ve got a mobile device that offers a ton of flexibility while looking cool in the process. The Dell Streak brings together a great web browsing experience, multi-tasking capability, slick turn by turn navigation and a great way to enjoy your photos, movies and music into a sleek device that’s built for mobility.
