When is a Dell Mini netbook not just a netbook? When it gets transformed into the world's largest Android-powered smartphone, retaining its 10.1-inch LCD display. Continue reading for a video demonstration.

Of course, this thing won't exactly fit in most pockets, but as a curiosity (and a conversation starter) it performs admirably.

Similar to the Microsoft Courier, this custom tablet PC features dual touchscreen displays, running Windows 7. The OS reportedly "detects all the drivers very easily, though calibration of monitor 2 touch is still a little bit off." Continue reading for one more picture.

The next step is to flatten all the components in the USB monitor, and laser-cut a custom case for it. For the custom case, I will need two sets of monitor hinges, so that they can be unfolded at 180 degrees without touching each other.

What good is a 0.65-inch thick laptop without the performance to back it up? You'll be happy to know that the Dell Vostro 13 fits the bill. Boasting a 1.4GHz Intel Core 2 Solo processor, integrated X4500MHD graphics, and a 13.3-inch display. Video after the break. Click here for first picture in gallery.

Sure, the design isn't as wild as the Adamo XPS, but the extra thickness means that it can accommodate an Ethernet port, along with eSATA, USB, an SD card slot and even a freaking ExpressCard slot.

It's official, Dell will be releasing their Android-powered Dell Mini 3i in Brazil and China. Featuring a 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen display, 3G (Brazilian model only), Bluetooth, and more. No word yet on pricing. Click here for first picture in gallery.

Dell remains mum on pricing and the rest of the spec, though all the information so far indicates that Brazilians will be able to buy the same WiFi-packing FCC-certified 3iX handset that's heading to the US.

Before a company approves of a production model, there are several prototypes created for testing purposes, and here's a rare glimpse at some of the Dell Adamo XPS models. To start, we have the touchscreen trackpad prototype above, "which was apparently rejected because Dell couldn't justify the cost of the panel based how much people would actually use it." Click here for first picture in gallery.

Another, possibly even more ambitious concept is one that would have completely replaced the traditional keyboard with a series of capacitive-touch buttons.

After countless teasers, Dell has officially unveiled the $1,799 Adamo XPS. Measuring just 0.4-inches thick, this laptop features a 1.4-GHz ULV processor, 13.4-inch display, 128GB SSD, 4GB of DDR3 RAM, Windows 7, and a battery rating of 2.5-hours on a full charge. Video after the break.

There's no mechanical button release to open 'er up; instead, you rub your fingers over a heat sensor that releases the keyboard and the notebook slowly unfolds itself. The base configuration weighs in at 3 pounds.

Aside from being thinner than a MacBook Air, the Dell Adamo XPS also features a nifty heat-sensing strip, which must be rubbed before the laptop's lid will open. Continue reading for a video demonstration.

All I know is that rubbing that strip illuminates it and unlocks the aluminum lid. I also got to hold the system for a bit and it is really really sturdy.
