Dell Android phone to launch in China any day now?

on 08/10/2009, filed in Home > CellPhones

The Dell smartphone rumor might be coming to an end soon. The word on the street today is that Dell will be launching its smartphone “within days”. Now, today’s rumor does not mention which OS the phone would run on, so it could be Android, Windows Mobile or a Chinese variant of Linux. If previous rumors are to be believed, the Dell phone would be a touch-only phone.

On the computer side, Dell has been very careful at not fighting directly with Apple for a market, especially on the consumer side. Some speculate that Dell has chosen China because Apple isn’t strong there, yet. Do you think that Dell can actually stop the iPhone onslaught?

Android: Android is the mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license. You can follow Ubergizmo on Android with Google Currents.

Dell: Dell Inc. is one of largest technology corporations in the world. Michael Dell started the company in 1984, and it sold computers built from stock components. Previously named PCs Limited, the company created the "Turbo PC," the company's first computer. In 1988, the company changed its name to Dell Computer Corporation. Dell sells personal computers, servers, data storage devices, network switches, software, and computer peripherals. Dell acquired computer hardware company Alienware in 2006, and Perot Systems, an information technology services provider, in 2009.
