A recent dig through Dell’s trademarks turned up a couple of curiosities – “Adamo” and “Adamo by Dell.”According to the documents, the trademarks cover computer hardware, including possibly desktops and laptops.

Dell teases Adamo, a super-stylish laptop
Obsessable News Feed — Technology is sexy now, and laptop computers are an important fashion accessory. Apple knew this when it created its preposterously thin MacBook Air, and now rumors are stirring that Dell will do the same, or even one-up its boutique competitor. Dell just launched a website called "Adamo by Dell" that teases a mysterious new product, but doesn't say anything about what kind of product it is. The New York Times and Uptownlife.net think they've got it nailed down, though. Because of comments from a Dell vice president (when asked whether or not Dell ...

Dell updates Adamo website with a new teaser
Tech Ticker —   Dell has got a new teaser up and running on Adamo’s website. The teaser as you would expect, is a teaser which reveals nothing but asking users to signup for the Adamo ‘love story’. Dell unveiled Adamo last month at the CES and it was sort of a cold launch with just the prototype being displayed and no specs whatsoever. No concrete specs also led to the speculation that Dell’s lagging behind the launch schedule and Adamo might come out in 2H 2009. The visible things from the specs page include a 13-inch screen, USB ports, LAN ...

The newly updated teaser page offers no new information about Adamo Thirteen with regards to specs, price points or even a shipping date. Instead, its sole purpose appears to be building the suspense by asking users to "prepare to fall in love" with Adamo. The site also ...

Kindle vs. iPod and AMD Dragon vs. Intel 32 nm: The power of marketing

One of the most anticipated announcements was the Kindle 2, a product that has, as of now, failed to achieve the iPod-like potential it has. In addition, we saw AMD launch its marketing-rich Dragon platform followed by Intel, which announced it would have 32 nm processors for both desktop and mobile products in production by year end. I could have titled this column “How to drive Steve Jobs insane”, but I have to think he is sitting back and is thinking that the folks, particularly those at Amazon, just don't get it.

Dell freshens up Adamo teaser site
Boy Genius Report — There is still a massive shroud of mystery surrounding the upcoming Adamo line of high-end laptops by Dell. The Texas start up semi-announced the line last month at CES, showing off a sexy black laptop, saying essentially nothing about it and allowing no one to turn it on. Smooth. Dell just updated its Adamo microsite to include a new Flash layout with links to a bunch of coverage Adamo has received thus far (and one link to a video that has nothing to do with the Adamo), along with a whimsical intro and a few fields where you can sign up for future info.

Gearlog — Are you in love with the Dell Adamo luxury notebook? Really in love? Maybe, crazy in love? If so, then you need to click on over to the dedicated "Adamo By Dell" Web site the PC maker has set up, complete with arty panning shots of models like the one to the left, none of which seem to actually inspire love. If you do sign up, you'll have the chance to receive updates and apparently score yourself an Adamo, which is due to be released in the first half of 2009. (Note: I mean "buy". To my knowledge, Dell isn't running a contest for a free Adamo.)

Dell Updates Adamo Site; Still No Info
Mobilewhack.com — [image] The Adamo is a very well known laptop around the world so far. And that’s because of all the buzz. Everyone has been talking about it before, during and after CES 2009 . And Dell failed to announce it in all its glory. Sure the laptop got mentioned but nobody knows what’s inside and how much it will all cost. And Dell has decided to update the site dedicated to the future computer but there’s absolutely no info for us.

Dell Adamo Website: So… do you have to be a model to own one or what?
CrunchGear — The models on Dell’s new Adamo teaser site, AdamoByDell.com, are gorgeous in that creepy, weird, I-have-a-bird-in-my-purse sort of way. Looks like the company’s really going for the fashion-conscious crowd with this one. I might be interested in one once we get more details about it but I’m gonna have to get some of those jeans that you have to dry clean and iron. The site itself is relatively devoid of information other than an e-mail signup and some links to various media outlets’ CES coverage along with an RSS feed. However, if you like Flash intros and photos of various ...

Dell Adamo teaser campaign continues (to annoy)
SlashGear — “Give the customer what they want” says the old adage; “Heck no!” says Dell, “let’s give them sultry music and posturing.”  There, boiled down, is the motivation for Dell’s latest Adamo teaser video, staring the vocals of Nina Simone, a willowy model and a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it sighting of the luxury ultraportable itself. Details on the Adamo are scant, but it’s known to be a 13.3-inch ultraportable set to go head-to-head with the MacBook Air.  No hardware specifications have been revealed, but if Dell are going to ...

You can see the video for yourself by clicking this link. A post on the Direct2Dell blog says “Soon we will be launching Adamo,” yet there’s still no date or pricing info. The word “soon” is somewhat comforting, though. As far as the video goes, here’s ...

Dell’s new “Adamo”: A Love Story?
Addicted to Digital Media — Looks like Dell is serving up a little Apple compete with their new teaser for the "Adamo" which in latin means to fall in love with/lust after and in Dell's case looks to be a near-unibody laptop.  Everyone knows geeks like to see brand new tech taken apart and here Dell does it in reverse in all its whitewashed glory. Coincidentally, the style is reminiscent of the WMV HD "Robotica" trailer from the early 2000's and the PC Design Competition video I produced many years ago with the Industrial Design Society of America (IDSA). I hope the ...

Dell has just announced its new dream machine — but it’s going to cost a pretty penny. For $1,999, you get a 1.2GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of RAM and a 128GB solid state drive. While you can easily find a decent notebook that packs far more punch than this Adamo model for a fraction of the price, it sure as hell won’t look anywhere near as sexy. The build quality should also be top-notch ...

Krunker — FINALLY.. the much ballyhooed Dell Adamo notebook is out. Yes, it’s thin. Yes, it’s impressive. AND YES… it’s expensive. Let’s get right down to it shall we? From a thickness perspective, Dell considers the Adamo the world’s thinnest notebook – with a thickness of 0.65 inches compared to the MacBook Air’s 0.76 inch thickness. However, it’s definitely not one of the lightest notebooks out there as the stated weight of the Adamo is approximately four pounds. Win some.. you lose some.

Gadgetwise: Dell Unveils Thin Laptop
NYT > Technology — Call your product “the world’s thinnest,” and the line begins to form. In theory. Dell’s just-announced “premium” computer notebook, the Adamo , starts at $2,000 and has the thin cachet. It is the first high-profile competition for the MacBook Air from Apple. The Adamo, the subject of much speculation last year and a rather funky, if somewhat surreal, Dell demonstration at the Consumer Electronics Show in January, is 0.65 inches at its thickest point, with its guts wedged into a single piece of aluminum (did we mention MacBook?) and weighs about four pounds, about a pound more than the Air. Adamo, ...

Dell Adamo. Spare me
SuperSite Blog — I just wanted to post a short comment about the Dell Adamo, which is Dell's entry into the "my computer is smaller and more expensive than your computer" sweepstakes. That is, this epic waste of time is meant to compete with Apple's epic waste of time, the Macbook Air. JCXP explains the system's specs like so: The Adamo is available in one of two configurations. The first boasting a 1.2Ghz Intel U9300 Core 2 Duo, 2GB DDR3 RAM, Intel X4500 graphics, a 128GB SSD, Bluetooth 2.1 +EDR and 802.11n wireless. For an additional $700, the second configuration bumps the ...

Dell Belatedly Buys Adamo.com Domain For Its Hot Notebook
TechCrunch — Last week, a blog post hit Techmeme detailing how Dell had screwed up by not securing Adamo.com for its ultra-thin notebook, which CrunchGear’s John Biggs spotted at SXSW a day before its official release on March 17. It’s not like they tried: the former owner of the domain name, Tucows subsidiary YummyNames, has no record of ever even being approached for a sale or lease of the internet address. Dell claims they had a broker contact the firm anonymously, who was quickly convinced the price would be too high (yet YummyNames leases domains from ...

Dell Adamo laptop: Love at first sight?
Popgadget: Personal Tech for Women — Dell’s latest laptop is shooting for the high end market with its latest offering. Complete with a snazzy website featuring beautiful models looking blasé and a forgettable, mind-numbing track on an endless loop, the Dell Adamo is definitely a looker. Decked out in a machined aluminum chassis, with a mix of brushed and glossy facing, Adamo is available in Pearl or Onyx. The name Adamo is latin meaning to "fall in love with" and looking at the specs, it’s easy to see why. Sporting a waifish .65 inch profile, weighing in at four pounds, the ultra-thin Adamo makes size 0’s jealous. The ...

Why Dell Can't Buy Palm
Bits — There is no credible evidence, not even unsourced rumors , that Dell is trying to buy Palm. That hasn’t stopped a bit of Web chatter , spurred in part by a report by a Collins Stewart analyst, Ashok Kumar, that that is exactly what Dell should do with the $1 billion it just raised selling bonds. (Palm has a market value of $1.9 billion.) There’s even a certain logic to this. Dell has no handset business, while Palm has surprised the market with the elegance of its Pre smartphone and WebOS operating system. Palm is controlled by Elevation Partners, and venture backing always implies ...

Dell To Buy Palm? No Way, Says N.Y. Times
BARRONS.com: Tech Trader Daily — The New York Times late Friday swatted down last week’s rumors that Dell (DELL) might buy Palm (PALM). The Times contends there is “no credible evidence, not even unsourced rumors,” that such a deal is going to happen. The item said that the combination has a “certain logic,” given Dell has handset business, while Palm just launched the Pre and the WebOS operating system to generally positive reviews. But the Times adds that there “is something deeply wrong with the ...

Microsoft's Fiery Solution to the Netbook 'Problem'
Microsoft Watch — Like Dr. Frankenstein creating his monster in the tower, PC manufacturers probably thought that mini-notebooks - those cheap and portable laptops that everyone calls "netbooks" - would be a good thing. Even as overall PC sales hit rock bottom and started to dig, netbook purchases seemed to tick ever-upwards, fueled by an apparently limitless audience of people whose computing needs extend to checking their e-mail and watching the family cat finally immolate that pesky dog on YouTube. For Microsoft, though, netbooks are more like Frankenstein's monster after it breaks free and starts wandering through the ...

Macintosh Portable (1989) vs. MacBook Air (2009)
Technologizer — Today, September 20th, marks the twentieth anniversary of the first truly mobile Mac, the Macintosh Portable. (For 1980s computers, all the compact Macs were surprisingly portable–they even sported convenient handles–but they couldn’t run off batteries.) When you hear the Portable ...
