Dell Smartphone Release Date Getting Closer

Word has it that Dell is inching closer towards its maiden smartphone – at least that’s what a research note by Kaufman Bros. analyst Shaw Wu says. Unfortunately, there is no specific launch window to date, and specifications are still shrouded in the dark as with the Dell Adamo. One would expect Dell to embrace Windows Mobile as the operating system of choice based on the company’s tradition, but in this time and age, even old alliances can part ways. Unless Dell is able to churn out something better than the iPhone or Palm Pre, things look pretty bleak. They might have great hardware with this release, but as we’ve always maintained, value is in the software and we hope to see Dell integrate both software and hardware well to deliver an unbeatable user experience.
