Dell May be Prepping for iPhone Competition
Friday, January 30th, 2009 at 8:17 AM - by Jeff Gamet
PC maker Dell may be on the verge of entering the smartphone market with its own iPhone-like touch screen device. The company has apparently been working on a smartphone lineup for over a year and has prototypes bases the Google Android and Windows Mobile platforms, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Dell's smartphones include a touch screen model without a physical keyboard, and another that sports a slide-out keyboard. Both include email and Web browser software.
Just because Dell is working on smartphone designs, however, doesn't mean the company will bring the devices to market. When asked about the company's plans, a Dell spokesperson commented "We haven't committed to anything."
Should Dell move forward with its smartphones, it will have to take on the iPhone and RIM's Blackberry -- both powerhouses in the smartphone market. Based on the company's past performance with handheld devices that include a failed digital media player lineup and a second player lineup that never made it to market, the likelihood that Dell could hold its own against Apple and RIM in the smartphone market seem slim.
