Dell to Make Google and Microsoft Phones – Really?
Just when you thought there are enough not-so-good looking and overrated phones out there, Dell is said to announce two iPhone and Blackberry competitors sometime next month. Code named MePhone (hopefully not the final name), the phones will run on Google Android and Microsoft Windows Mobile respectively.
Following rumors going back as far as July 2007, the Wall Street Journal announced this morning that Dell will introduce in February at the Mobile World Conference in Barcelona two new mobile phones, set to go head to head with market leaders Apple and Research In Motion.
One of the phones will be touchscreen-only while the other will feature a slide-out keyboard, similar to the T-Mobile G1. It is not known which of the models will feature Windows Mobile and which will run on Android and other technical specifications are not available as of yet either. Also, no partnership with any U.S. wireless carries has been announced.
