Dell announced last spring that it would enter the tablet PC market later in the year, and earlier today, PCW Editor in Chief Harry McCracken and I got to see one of the first Dell Latitude XT tablets in a briefing with Dell executives.

PLACE-SHIFTING TV: SlingMedia general manager Manish Singhal shows how TV coverage of a cricket match can be sent via the Internet to a distant laptop — even a mobile phone — using the slingbox (arrow).

Bangalore: “One of the most striking computing-and-communicating devices.” “The hottest product of 2007.” These were headlines from Internet product rating sites last week. BusinessWeek magazine’s current issue in the U.S. says: “With the iPod and the Wii, [this is] the biggest winner in consumer electronics for 2007.” On Friday, The New York Times said: “Many executives have come to rely on it, to let them catch their local news, sports and programmes while travelling on business….The first generation [version] was cute. The newest seems irresistible.”

They were all talking about the Slingbox, a palm-sized gadget which, attached to your TV, grabs the content flowing from the cable, digitises it and sends it through the Internet to anywhere in the world for you to catch it — with a laptop or PC.
