Tech stocks broke out ahead of Dell’s new product roll out on Tuesday. Will new gadgets help Dell recapture some of the old magic?

Investors and tech geeks unite. Dell is scheduled to debut brand new products on Tuesday, which could include “two netbooks, or ultra- compact notebooks,” according to published reports.

It’s also being reported that “Dell could introduce its first cell phone sometime in the next six-to-18 months, (and it) might use Internet search giant Google’s soon-to-be-launched Android mobile operating system.”

The company could use some Apple juice. About ten years ago, Dell products were considered edgy with audiences eagerly awaiting their debut; kind of like the iPhone or iPod. In fact the Dell Dude was nearly as popular as Mr. Whipple or the Maytag repairman.
