Dell's recently-unveiledWindows 7tablet could be here as soon as mid-May, with a follow-up device in January that would run the next version of Windows.
That's according to a purportedly leaked road map of Dell's portable devices acquired by sister sites Android and WP Central.
The road map, which details a handful of Android devices, including four tablets, also teases a version of Dell's Venue ProWindows Phone 7 device that will bring "additional features and enhancements" arriving in mid-April. That's followed up in July by "Wrigley" a Windows Phone 7 slider that will sport a "Next Gen" version of the OS, which could simply be referring to Microsoft's planned update that will bring multitasking, as well as a beefed up version of the IE9 browser.

As for the Windows tablets, there's "Rosemount" which is the 10-inch, Windows 7 tablet Dell unveiled in wooden mock-up form just last week. That's slated for an arrival in mid-May, with "Peju" a "Windows 8" version arriving in January of 2012.
Microsoft, of course, has made no announcements on the date, planned features, or even the name of the next version of Windows. The most recent nugget of information given out by the company was at CES back in January, when it took the covers off its plans to support ARM architecture, so that the OS could run on a wider range of devices.
When asked to verify the document, a Dell representative said the company does not comment on speculation or unannounced product plans.
