This one emerged on Christmas Eve and thus slipped under our radar for a while, but it’s worth noting: Dell has entered into an enforceable undertaking with the ACCC after making inaccurate statements about refund and warranty rights for consumers. More »
We recently told you about an unofficial way to upgrade the Dell Streak to Froyo, but now the Android 2.2 goodness is officially available — and not before time. More »

Dell’s already got something of a position of infamy in the Lifehacker Discount Academy after its router discount turned out to be anything but, so when the company started promoting a photo printer discounted from $219 to $29 yesterday, my suspicions were immediately aroused. More »
