ATT Dell Venue Pro has got he Windows Phone Mango 7.5 update. It is rolling right now and your smartphone probably already prompted you to get the latest version of Microsoft windows phone platform. Before Updating Back-up all of your Data and charge your phone, Then Enjoy the Mango Update!

Aside from its Android tablets, Dell is preparing to return to the "Windows tablet scene." What we have here is the upcoming Dell Peju, which will be launched at some point in October. We are talking about a high-end device with Intel Core i5 processor, 4GB of RAM, 64 or 128 GB of SSD storage, 10.1-inch 1920×1080 pixels Gorilla Glass-protected touchscreen, 5,500 mAh battery (6-8 hours) and 3G/4G and Wi-Fi connectivity.
In addition, there are two cameras (5-megapixel on the back and 1.3-megapixel front-facing one), USB slots, mini VGA and HDMI out. All this is packed in a box measuring 10.8×6.7×0.63 inches and weighing 1.9 lbs. Windows 7 Pro will run the show, though allowing upgrade to Windows 8, once its out.

Dell, probably the most boring personal computer manufacturer on the face of this Earth, is going out on a limb and saying that Apple iPad will not take off in the enterprise space. To quote Andy Lark, Dell Global Head of Marketing for Large Enterprises and Public Organisations, he says: "I could not be happier that Apple has created a market and built up enthusiasm but longer term, open, capable and affordable will win, not closed, high price and proprietary. Apple has done a really nice job, they’ve got a great product, but the challenge they have got is that already Android is outpacing them. Apple is great if you have got a lot of money and live on an island. Its not so great if you have to exist in a diverse, open, connected enterprise; simple things become quite complex." If that isn’t a burn, we do not know what is.
Now of course the new types of computing paradigms offered by tablets will prove beneficial to various industries such as health care and logistics, but are those firms willing to invest high up front costs when they can instead opt for a cheaper solution from the numerous Honeycomb tablets hitting the market this year? Lark admits that while Dell has traditionally been a Windows player, they do plan on releasing a Honeycomb tablet. He fails to mention specs, timelines, and a price point, but those knowledge gaps will be filled with time.

Dell Venue pro is finally available in the UK from Dell own website. No carrier has picked it up yet meaning you will have to pay the full price to own the sexiest Windows Phone 7 device. And that price could be a problem the American company is asking for 382.50 GBP without taxes and shipping. Add taxes to the figure and you come to 459 GBP which is almost $750! Thats super steep even for a smartphone as awesome as the Venue pro. Hopefully some carrier will add it to its portfolio and offer it for less on a contract.
Specs wise, Dell Windows Phone 7 device comes with a sliding QWERTY keyboard, 4.1-inch WVGA capacitive touchscreen, HSPA and WiFi connectivity, Bluetooth, GPS, tons of built-in storage and all other "standard for a modern smartphone" goodies.

The good ship Dell has sprung a leak and its brought with it a forecast of what to expect over the coming year. The leaked roadmap lays out some of Dell plans for 2011 and begins with the Venue and Venue Pro, which should be familiar to many already. By May of this year, however, we get into some new territory with the anticipated arrival of the Dell Venue Pro MLK. MLK has no clear meaning at this stage, but some have been speculating that this is in fact the point at which the Venue Pro will receive the Windows Phone update. The Dell Wrigley is scheduled for July and is a slide out keyboard affair like the Venue Pro. There's a 1 Ghz processor onboard, a 4 inch WVGA screen and an 8 MP camera.
September sees the Dell Hancock, an Android handset and again its a slide out keyboard effort. Ice Cream seems to be the flavour of Android here and it will be run on a dual-core chip. There is a 4 inch qHD screen, 8 MP camera with 1080p HP recording support and a 1.3 MP front camera for video calls.
By October we have the Dell Millenium, which breaks the trend by having no physical keyboard. It does have a dual-core chip though and again an 8 MP camera with 1080p HP recording support. It is another Android handset and again it will be running Ice Cream.
