"Update (1:31 p.m. ET): Dell has announced that it has agreed to acquire Boomi, a software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider, for an undisclosed amount.\nDell plans to launch several new tablets in 2011, Dell CEO Michael Dell said. Without giving any further details, he also announced an acquisition related to cloud computing later today. \nDell was one of the first companies to release an Android tablet, the 5-inch Dell Streak, and in September Dell Greater China President Amit Midha announced a 7-inch Android tablet, dubbed the Looking Glass, would become available \"within the next few weeks\". \n\"We're going to have a significant number of new tablets in the next year. There's lots of debate about the size of the market, who's buying these devices, and those questions always emerge when there's a new form factor.\" Dell said at an event in Hong Kong. \nMichael Dell also said that his developers told him it was easier to develop software for Microsoft's Windows platform than Google's mobile platform, Android. Dell recently launched a Windows Phone 7 smartphone called the Venue Pro; perhaps Dell's remark is a sign that the company is about to focus more on Windows Phone 7 smartphones, or possibly launch a Windows-based tablet as well."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
