How IdeaStorm Works:
Make Dell Ubuntu PCs available to businesses and non-profits Linux, Sales Strategies, Small Business submitted by wyleyr 06/20/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
Dell is apparently not yet willing to sell Ubuntu-based PCs to business users, non-profits, or other organizations larger than a "home office." See this Ubuntu forum thread for more: Hires Some Brains To recognize ideas Dell, IdeaStorm submitted by googideas 07/11/07
A good idea makes Dell money and keeps costs down for the consumer, or, at least allows for more R&D. PLEASE Dell research some cute robots like Honda's ones Dell, New Product Ideas submitted by cosh 07/12/07
Those little guys are so cute. But their focus is on advanced mobility. I don't think much of their interaction skills. In a world where computers are supposed to be so great and everything, can Dell do better than ASIMO? Something nimbler and more responsive.
Although, you don't have:
So get hiring. 1 Comment » TV/Computer/Telephone all-in-one Dell, New Product Ideas, Simplify IT submitted by john_mccabe 07/12/07 Merging technologies seems to be a new pathway for innovation. I would suggest Dell to make an all-in-one PC/Home Theatre/Telephone. Speaker phone on your TV. Incorporate the remote and the phone handset in one piece. Caller ID on cable is becoming the norm. Home Theatre's are becoming more and more popular. 2 Comments » Linux, Desktops and Laptops submitted by daniel117 06/29/07 **REVIEWED**
Since Dell is putting Ubuntu on their notebooks and a desktop computer, I figured out that they can put it on their tablet pc's as well. Find Work at DELL for Unemployed Booth Babes Dell submitted by reg 07/12/07

Recycle your old Dell back to Dell for a 10% discount on new equipment. Dell can then secure overwrite erase the hard drive, install Ubuntu + hardware drivers, then donate the hardware to unemployment, food stamp, and welfare offices Nationwide. The social services offices then can pass out the refurbished used equipment to its clients, and Dell can be given BIG tax breaks by the State and Federal Systems.

Recharge Lithium-Sulfur over and over again. Sulfur is cheaper than heavy metals, and friendly to the environment. No toxic metals, and also better performing in colder temperatures. Lithium-Sulfur batteries also weigh less than Lithium Ion batteries. Desktops submitted by jerbl 02/17/07
I suggest that Dell design and sell a true mini-sized desktop CPU. OpenOffice.org as an Option on Vista Systems Operating Systems, Software submitted by badblood 06/14/07
openoffice.org is already offered on the Ubuntu systems, but not on Vista systems. Extend offers like Linux pre-installation to the UK & Europe Dell, Linux submitted by leftcase 05/03/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**
First of all - well done Dell for listening to the people and making some brave decisions about the operating systems you provide your computers with. More Dell <-> Community Communication IdeaStorm submitted by mistern 05/15/07
Certainly, Dell's move to start IdeaStorm was a good one, and I think it will improve the situation quite a bit. jmxz's part of the idea (his article was merged here): IdeasStorm needs more participation from Dell Management and Employees Dell has meetings with the management to discuss Ideas that are posted to the site. Why can’t some of those managers stop by and ask questions or maybe enlighten users when they suggest an idea that isn’t feasible. I’m not saying they need to spend the whole day doing this but maybe just pop in once in a while. I believe that such conversations lead to better ideas not only from us but from Dell employees as well. This kind of interaction would also make users know that they are being listened to. Further information in the comments of this Idea. 209 Comments » Dell, Dell Community submitted by jmxz 06/15/07 **IMPLEMENTED**
Yesterday Dell sent the following letter to a blog that was giving advice on how to better order from the confusing Dell web site (like clarifying pros and cons of when you should go to the Small Business vs Home Office sections; and when you might do even better going to a Dell Kiosk- which Dell's own web site never makes clear). Rather than a take down notice from Legal, a polite email from Marketing with corrections to the inaccurate parts and specific requests to remove the confidential information would have been: Implemented: Ubuntu Dell is Le$$ Than Windows Dell Linux submitted by thebittersea 05/05/07 **IMPLEMENTED**

Is time to make a DELL Table PC Software submitted by leado 05/02/07 Please stop installing demonstration software (demoware), more appropriately defined as "crippleware" on new Dell machines. These useless applications slow down a machine and many are worse than spyware or viruses. 2 Comments » Make Carbon Fiber Based Laptops to Minimize weight and Maximize Strength Laptops submitted by wonderworm 05/07/07
Sony's has a big winner with their Carbon Fiber based Vaio laptops. Carbon Fiber has become extremely cheap over the past several years so for little cost, Dell could reduce the weight of some of their laptop lines significantly while actually improving structural integrity.
