Dell Solution Center Network Expands in Australia and U.S.

17 May 2012

Dell’s focus on helping our customers “Do More..” was reinforced over the last two weeks as we opened new “Solution Centers” in Sydney and New York City. Interest in these two centers has been huge since we first announced these locations and we already have numerous engagement requests from customers and partners who want to see and test how Dell solutions can meet their unique requirements. Each center was launched with an event attended by customers, alliance partners, channel partners and media. In New York, we were also delighted to meet with several industry analysts. Our guests were invited to tour the centers and experience a diverse range of industry...

Several Dell team members, our customers and I participated in Symantec’s annual Government Symposium . The conference discussions focused on the increasing need for government and industry to understand all aspects surrounding their cybersecurity/security technology needs – from supply chain security to cybersecurity policy.

Recently, Adobe Labs made the mobile version of Flash 10.1 available to Android users who are running Froyo or version 2.2 . As I mentioned in my Streak post , when the Froyo upate comes to it later this year, it too will have Flash capability. Despite what you might have read from other companies, I think there's still a lot of interest in being able to play Flash content on lots mobile devices and beyond. Earlier, the folks at Adobe also released the desktop version of the Flash 10.1 player...

Those of you who read Techmeme noticed we unveiled three new Inspiron laptops yesterday on Dell.com—the Inspiron R family, with 14- , 15- and 17-inch models. From my personal perspective the "R" stands for Redesigned - which these are with the new "hinge forward" design that bring the display at tad closer for better viewing. The new Inspiron R family members also feature new colors in a finish that resemble brushed aluminum (but it's not): an eye-catching Tomato Red...

E3 has come and gone again, and as always, it’s been a blur. How it’s possible to cram so many sights and sounds into a short three days will always be a mystery to me. I’ll do my best to give a quick recap of what I saw and heard over the past three days here in lovely Los Angeles, but I must apologize in advance for the details I'll inevitably miss: it's just been that action packed. The Alienware booth was constantly buzzing all three days. People lined up to get their hands on the new...

Listening. That doesn't seem like such a hard thing to do - to listen. But have you really tried it lately? Listening, not just hearing, but full-on, completely committed, totally steppin'-in-what-a-person-is-layin'-down listening can be one of the hardest things you can ever do and love at the same time. Maybe that's why so many companies (including ours from time to time) have such a hard time relating to those who matter most, their customers - they just aren't listening...

This week, the New York Times reported that New York State joined the list of jurisdictions that have passed laws directed at electronic waste. The law highlights the growing sentiment that all manufacturers should offer free and convenient programs for consumers to return their unwanted PCs and related accessories for responsible recycling or reuse. The key words here are “free” and “convenient.” Consumers say, both in surveys and with their actions, that they don’t...

This is one of those blog posts that represent my personal opinion, not the view of Dell overall. Like a lot of geeky types out there, I've been looking forward to Internet and TV "convergence" for years. That's one reason that I got excited when Google unveiled the concept of Google TV to the world. Sure, merging the two mediums has been tried several times before, but I think video quality on the web is much closer to the quality we're used to getting from cable or satellite...
