The device ships with Android 1.6 but you'll get a 2.2 update once the device gets some internet. The US $180 price-cut came as a surprise and without a direct announcement from Dell but our guess is that Dell is simply feeling the heat from other Android slates as users are going for a larger screen devices in the same class.
The 32GB version also got a US $180 price drop and is currently listed at Dell's site for US $498.99. Europe, or to be precise, German Dell, is still listing it at €549, and we are not sure if we'll see a price update there as well, but you can find it here available for as low as €409.
