The new "tease 'em" style of press conference that Dell started last year with the first Adamo. It's running "Dell Andriod", version of Andriod that Dell is customizing for their devices. Sounds like different screen sizes are in the works, with different OS' as well.</p><p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/dell-slate-exclusive-hands-on/" target="_blank">Engadget</a> and <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/30646/dell-internet-tablet-slate-announced" target="_blank">Pocket-lint</a> were given a closer look, so check out the photos. Looks like it has a SIM slot, so expect a carrier partnership...</p>
