Dell, a world-renowned for its desktops and laptops, is branching out into the tablet market through Streak 5 and Dell Streak 7. It was at first assumed that Dell would stick with Android for at least some of their future tablets. However, the company just announced that the company is betting the farm on Microsoft's Windows 8 for its future tablets in hopes of dethroning Apple's iPad2.
Dell Inc.'s founder and CEO Michael Dell stated that the market for Android devices has not developed as they had hoped. And that, "Android is certainly another opportunity as well, but that market has not developed to the expectations they would have had."
Basically, it sounds like Dell has been unimpressed by the performance of their aforementioned Android devices, and as such have decided to abandon the platform. Windows 8 certainly seems to be a great alternative choice for tablets especially from a well-known company like Dell.
