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.
Dell 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.
Dell 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".
"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.
