The Dell Lafite appeared on the FCC last night. According to Engadget, the Lafite will be released as the Latitude E4310, and will feature a 13 inch screen, WWAN and WiFi and optional features that include a RFID reader and UWB.
Pictures of the Lafite show a thin form factor with sharp edges. The battery for the Lafite also appears to protrude a few inches from the back of the device, although we’re not sure this is the standard or extended battery.
No word on pricing or availability, but yesterday’s filing suggests that we’ll see the Lafite soon.


Dell unveiled their Inspiron Mini 1012 netbook earlier this year. The device rocks a 10.1” screen, Intel N450 Atom processor, and integrated Intel GMA graphics. But today the Inspiron Mini 1012 made another appearance on the FCC, this time with Intel’s 6250 WiMAX chipset.
As you can see above, the Inspiron Mini 1012 with the Intel 6250 chipset is described as a preproduction model. The model number for this netbook is clearly identified in other RF reports in the filing (left).
It’s good to see Dell adding WiMAX to its netbooks – sure, coverage isn’t great at this point, but WiMAX is pretty speedy when you have a strong signal. We’re not sure if Dell is partnering with a service provider, but we wouldn’t be surprised to see CLEAR in the mix.

Dell passed a device called the M01M through the FCC this afternoon. Dell describes the unit as a ‘Mobile Internet Device’, and as Engadget points out the M01M’s label (above) bears a striking resemblance to the label on the Dell Streak MID.
The test report for the M01M shows quad-band GSM support, as well as support for WCDMA bands I, II, V and VIII (below). That means the M01M will have 3G coverage pretty much worldwide, including Vodafone, O2 and Orange in Europe, and AT&T in the US. The device does not have support for WCDMA band IV, however, meaning you won’t be able to use 3G on the M01M with T-Mobile. The M01M will also feature 802.11 b/g.

Atheros passed an 802.11 b/g/n card through the FCC today that makes reference to a mysterious Dell netbook called the P04T. No current or announced Dell products have the P04T model number, so this suggests we will be seeing a new netbook from Dell in the near future.
Unfortunately, Atheros’ filing doesn’t give many details about the P04T at all. One thing that is disclosed, however, is that the P04T will have a 10” display and 802.11 b/g/n WiFi.
An FCC filing yesterday by Atheros made mention of a Fujitsu netbook with a PineView processor, so hopefully the Dell P04T will also rock some PineView goodness.

Dell passed the Mini 3iX smartphone through the FCC today. This device is the US version of Dell’s Mini 3i, a similar Android device that the company is selling in China.
While the FCC filing does not reveal much, the test report does show that the phone will run on 850/1900 GSM/UMTS bands, a good indication that the phone is headed for AT&T.
Other specs that have been leaked around the net include a 3.5” capacitive touchscreen, 3MP camera and LED Flash.
