Dell set to make a smartphone?
We love Dell as a computer manufacturer who has helped deliver highly customized Laptops and well other computer stuff. And rumor abound id that dell might be looking to make a new home in the Smartphone industry. And why not, after all it has had immense success both in dollars and in customer retention with prior mobile devices so it looks like the next big step.
Rumors of this had been abound for as far back as last year and now an article has surfaced in the wall street journal and SAI simultaneously saying the new Dell smartphone might just be available by September 9th 2009 and going by the name MePhone, (hopefully just the Code name).
Well the rumors have a good chance at being true since Dell has been reportedly in contact with Asian suppliers and manufacturers for the past year and has even gotten hold of Ron Garriques the mind behind the success of the Motorola RAZR and has given him the title of “President of Consumer Business”. Everybody please join me in saying, “ooooooo”. Also there is the fact that after Dell purchased Zing in 2008, it didn’t really use that as a real asset and this could just be that opportunity. What’s more is perhaps the phone will also be free of windows mobile and may feature Android OS. As Homer Simpson would say, “wohoo”. Let’s hope all this does come true at a nice competitive price and good carrier. And then Palm can have a go at Dell too.
