If you are interested in or doing mobile business development involving Latin America, here is some interesting information for you, published by CNNMexico.com:
Mexico has the highest mobile internet traffic through smartphones and tablets, according to comScore (SCOR), a global leader in digital business analytics.
According to the source, 4.6% of internet traffic comes from mobile devices (primarily smartphones), then from tablets.
Apple’s iOS has 59.3% of the market share, whereas Android 22.83% and Symbian 3.83%.
However, the number of people who make purchases online is actually lower than that of countries outside Latin America, but it’s on the rise.
The most visited sites are Google and Facebook, and users spend about twice as much time in the latter.

Microsoft has acknowledged that there is a problem with their sync through “EAS” (Exchange Active Sync) which is what most mobile devices use (HP Touchpad, Palm, Android and Windows Mobile -yup-).
The problem started around mid-May/mid-June, and there is quite a lengthy thread on the Microsoft Answers web site asking people to provide feedback to help them in the resolution of the issue.
I have personally experienced the issue when trying to sync Hotmail within Microsoft Outlook 2010 on my PC laptop and on my Galaxy Nexus Android phone.

Workaround
Somewhere around the forum posts it is mentioned that you can use the server “debug-m.hotmail.com” instead of the default of m.hotmail.com on your mobile device.
This is working for some, but not for all. So keep an eye on the official thread for updates from the Redmond nerds.

If you want a sneak peek at the upcoming mighty machines from the dudes at Dell, then look no further than at Engadget.com.
I tried really hard to find copies of the leaked PDFs but there were nowhere to be found.
But if you are really curious, you can Google “Dell M6700 Owner’s Manual” and then in the results click on “View as HTML” and read on the rest of the document.
Here are the specs for the M6700 and M4700:

I headed to Dell’s web site and ran a site-wide search for “M6700″ or “M4700″ and got some signs that the machines are coming. How soon, nobody knows yet.
Also no signs of the specs yet, but I’ll keep you posted if I find anything.
In the mean time here’s what I found:
Dell Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility drivers supporting the upcoming M6700:
Dell Client Configuration Toolkit (CCTK) listing supported systems M4700 and M6700:
