Dell: Our Smartphone is On Schedule
Tuesday, March 24th, 2009 at 10:52 AM - by Jeff Gamet
Dell CEO Michael Dell says that his company's smartphone is still on schedule, despite earlier reports that cell carriers shot down the PC maker's prototypes and called them too "Dell-like."
According to DigiTimes, Mr. Dell said that his company's release schedule is still tracking with their internal roadmap. He did not, however, offer up a time frame for any product releases.
Mr. Dell's comments come after word surfaced that smartphone prototypes his company showed to cell carriers were snubbed because they didn't offer any features to set them apart from other smartphones. Kaufman Bros. analyst Shaw Wu claimed Dell was "going back to the drawing board" and starting over with its smartphone designs, which may be something Dell took into consideration when laying out the product schedule.
Since Dell has to go up against Apple's iPhone and Palm's Pre, which many are expecting to be a popular smartphone, the bar has been set high, and Dell has historically failed to meet that standard. The company's Dell Digital Jukebox MP3 player failed to gain any traction against the iPod, and its Windows Mobile PDA devices don't stand out when compared to competitors.
Dell may be also considering buying up other companies to help get its foot into the smartphone door, which may be a smarter move since it apparently is having trouble innovating in the smartphone world.
