Two Dell roadmaps for smartphones and tablets-leaked today shows all companies have planned to start in 2011. The leak is rather significant that encompasses all of Dell's Android and Windows devices are planned until Q1 2012.

WPCentral and Android Central was sent the roadmaps that seemingly leaked images from a Dell company confidential documents. It is interesting that the leaks mentioned operating system versions that have not been announced yet as Windows 7 and Android ice cream.

Dell has plans for his epic smartphone lineup. First is in the pack-Dell Wrigley a Windows phone 7 Next Gen device will the end of July or middle of August 2011. Next-Gen part may result in an updated version of Windows phone 7 OS, who knows. Smartphone will be powered by a processor at 1 Ghz and will extract a 4-inch touchscreen with WVGA resolution and will have an 8MP camera, 720 p video recording.

Then it displays a month later, in September, the more exciting Dell Hancock. It is a QWERTY slider that (hopefully) will be as powerful as superhero in the original movie. IT's going to run the latest version of Android, it is called Ice Cream (no Sandwich?), powered by a dual-core processor. Hancock should sport a 4-inch touchscreen with a resolution qHD, a 1.3 MP front-facing camera, and a back-flip camera 8MP, which can record full HD 1080p video.

Move further in the timeline will Dell Millennium. This ice cream run Android slate shares some of the specifications with Hancock it's planned with a dual-core CPU and the same camera setup. Millennium, however, has a large 4.3-inch touchscreen with qHD resolution and DLNA support and is expected for October-November release this year.

Dell won t takes a long time to join the Tablet war with full force. 10-inch Streak tablet in existing Dell army will be joined by Dell Sterling, Gallo, Rosemount, Opus one, Silver Oak and Peju.

Information about all of these slates are pretty thin boards, with information only about us of tablets available. But oh, boy, are they exciting or what!

Dell Peju, planned for early Q1 2012 launch, will run Windows 8! This year's Consumer Electronics Show in January, Microsoft announced that their future versions of Windows will support ARM-based mobile devices too. So far we haven; t heard an effective transition plan for Windows 8 but.

The Gallo (April 2011), Sterling (October 2010), Opus one and Silver Oak tablets running Honeycomb, which would mean that Google will stay with the name Honeycomb for all it's future tablet OS version of Android, but that's highly unlikely given the recent Android OS version name.

Dell Gallo will be a 10.1-inch slate and comes only in April 2011. IT's followed by Dell Sterling, who will have a 7-inch touchscreen and is planned for the fourth quarter of this year. 5-inch Dell Opus will in the first quarter of 2012 together with 7-inch Dell Silver Oak and 10-inch Peju, running Windows 7.

Windows phone 7 smartphones is certainly not the cheapest around. Microsoft's strict hardware requirements do not give room for cheaper phones.

In a recent statement said Elop makes it possible to one of the main topics of arrangements between Nokia and Microsoft to lower prices of smartphones, which will facilitate the hope for the selected users more affordable Symbian smartphones.

It is important for Nokia to ensure that its Symbian users aren't left in a disadvantageous position by SHIFT in software. Nokia's primary goal is to convert them to the new smartphone platform instead of sending them in Droid mark.

Elop also said that the deal with Microsoft and Nokia will be completed within the next few months, so we will probably hear even more juicy details about the future devices to come out in this partnership.

Samsung has just announced a desktop dock for Google Nexus p. We wondered how advanced can it be that we jumped straight to its specifications on the page. It turns out, it's a pretty regular phone dock, which is just a notch better than a simple desk stand for attempts to load.

However, Google's Nexus in landscape orientation, with a microUSB port plugged in for charging or data connection.

Nexus's dock from Samsung

It is all the functions that the Nexus 's, however, has to offer-there are no additional USB ports, TV-out functionality, or any of the battle.

Samsung Galaxy ACE can go a long way with a name like this, but it isn t that goes slightly longer than its convenient midrange site. You know, if you want the best seat in the House, you must move the cat. Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 is a feline droid black cat in Samsung's Android portfolio. And it spells bad luck for competitive mid-range droids is a force to be reckoned with in the world's smartphones.

Samsung S5830 Galaxy Ace official photos

With that kind of specifications, was Galaxy Ace gone for a high-end phone for some time now. So if your processing power and screen estate, haven t have risen sharply over the past year or so, Ess serves you well.

In fact with Froyo on a 800 MHz processor, good connection and screen size and resolution that was good enough for the first three iPhone, Samsung Galaxy Ace looks good.

The only drawback with the package is QVGA @ 15 fps video. That may be acceptable on a low-end dumbphone, but depressing in a mid-level Android.

Here's what is going on Ace's spec sheet.

Quad-band GSM and dual-band 3 G support 7.2 Mbps HSDPA support 3.5-inch 16 M color TFT LCD touchscreen in HVGA capacitive (320 x 480 pixels) resolution 800 MHz ARM 11 processor, Adreno 200 GPU, Qualcomm MSM7227 chipset. 278 MB of RAM available for userAndroid OS v2.2 (Froyo) with TouchWiz 3.0 UI customizationSwype text input5 MP autofocus camera with LED flash. Geo tagging, face and smile detectionQVGA @ 15fps videomicroSD card slot (up to 32 GB, 2 GB in the box), Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and DLNAGPS with A-GPS connectivity. Digital Compass microUSB port (fees), and stereo Bluetooth v2.1 Standard 3.5 mm audio jackDNSe sound enhancementFM radio with RDS document editor File manager pre-installed Samsung Apps gives some nice apps for freeAccelerometer and proximity sensor recording QVGA video Dis group @ 15 fps, no shutter key for cameraNo support for Adobe Flash in the web browserNo ambient light sensorNo DivX/Xvid video support in box

So, the video is not good, but still the camera should do pretty well. Samsung's refined TouchWiz 3.0 with document editor and file manager of the box, get good scores for Galaxy Ace too.

The phone is quite compact and we would like in particular to new a rubbery textured reverse side. There's nothing to be concerned in terms of ergonomics and pocketability, but these definitely iPhone-ish look a little dubious.

That's about all we can tell just by looking over the phone and it's the second time we meet the Samsung Ace. You can also remember our quick preview from a while back. IT's now time to see how Samsung Galaxy Ace are ready for the real world and we are starting with the hardware.
