Innovation Dell-style
Dell and product innovation don't go together very well, but the company is very hard trying to change that very image. Because despite having an image to the contrary, Dell does innovate.
At a company event in San Francisco, the company today showed off its Displayport connector cable (shipping later this year), as well as a mock-up of an ultra thin notebook display that the connector will enable (no news on if it will ever ship).
Dell created the early version of the standard five years ago, boasted Dell CTO Kevin Kettler to illustrate the innovative forces at play within the company.
The computer maker earlier this month was the first to ship notebook computers powered by SanDisk's new Flash memory based hard drive. And don't forget about the H2C cooling system that Dell designed for its high end PCs, allowing consumers to overclock their CPUs without burning down the house.
Dell is known for creating a supply chain that is able to produce really cheap PCs and laptops. But really, they also innovate.
one cable
A mock up of a flat panel HD display featuring integrated microphone and speakers. All connected through a single cable. The image on the monitor is actually a sheet of paper pasted on plexiglass, so don't get too excited.
