    They do have some on their Business site under accessories (really strange to find tablet PCs under accessories)...
    http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productlisting.aspx?c=us&l=en&cs=04&category_id=5959&first=true

    These are not created by Dell itself, but by some former Dell executives, so I'm not sure how good the support for them would be. There were rumors that Dell would introduce its own line of Tablets PCs, and they be available for sale towards the end of 2004. Nothing ever happened and Dell has denied the reports.

    I'm guessing Dell will sit on the sidelines for a bit as far as a Tablet goes but eventually they'll have to dive in. If they did offer one it'd most certainly be a notebook convertible style tablet. Toshiba, HP, Fujitsu, Averatec and soon IBM will have Tablet offerings so although Dell is very focused on the mainstream and not niche products I think by 2006 they'll have to have something.
