kilbo, you about? Just attended a Dell roadmap presentation and grilled the guy about their convertible tablets.

He had a slide for their specialty laptops that included their netbooks and ruggedized models. All of them had at least one refresh coming in the next year. And at the bottom of the chart, all lonely, was the XT2. No refresh scheduled. When asked about the tablet, he mentioned that the first model - XT - was too expensive compared to "competitors" (read: HP) by $500-1000 (sh*t!) So they tweaked it, reduced the price, and we got the XT2... and nothing more. They seem to be focusing exclusively now on their Dell Mini tablets.
HP, thankfully, seems to have a more diverse approach.
