Dell enters the Smartphone market
Dell has officially entered the smartphone market on Friday the 13th, 2009. The initial release of the Dell 3 Mini Smartphone will run on the Open Mobile System, a version of the Android operating system developed by China Mobile. The device is expected to be released on the China Mobile network by late November. Following the release on the China Mobile network, the Dell 3 Mini will be released on Brazil’s leading wireless network Claro before the end of the year.
Dell has been light on the details of the Dell 3 Mini specifications but did mention it offers a 3.5 in high definition touch screen. The initial release in China will not have Wi-Fi as China is not yet a Wi-Fi friendly market, however it can be expected that Wi-Fi functionality will be included in later releases of the device.
