Could Dell's new compact Android device be a game changer?

Dell recently launched a new compact Android device under the Wyse Cloud Connect brand with an eye on the digital signage market.  Wyse is well known for it's thin client computing platform but this device's specs match what we've seen marketed by several digital signage companies in the past year.

We've seen lots of private labelled stuff coming out of China with various form factors.  This is the first "name brand" product with a big corporation behind it.  Dell is well known and respected in the corporate IT world and any digital signage solution running on this hardware platform would benefit greatly from Dell's reputation, it's technical support and service.

Pricing is on par with what we've seen with private labelled products so this is a very smart move from Dell and I think we'll see a lot of digital signage products running on this platform.  No need to take chances with generic or consumer grade hardware now that you can one of these devices for $130 US.

I think this will help accelerate the migration to Android devices for digital signage.

Can a Lenovo or HP device be far behind?
