Dell in talks with China Mobile
According to this article, Dell is in talks with the China Mobile to launch its first smartphone in China. Although, it is not a new news/rumor of Dell getting into the smartphone business, but we always thought they would targeting US market in first place and not China.
I hope Dell is well acquainted with the zillion mobile-phone designs that can be found in China. They will have to come with something that stands out from the Cheapo $80 phones.
Also, since the Dell is targeting a Asian market, it would make more sense to come out with a device with resistive screen and not capacitive like the iPhone as the Asians prefer to use the stylus for data entry (try entering Chinese characters via fingers on a capacitive screen and you will understand what I mean).
Most of the online rumors are pointing towards a Windows Mobile device. Windows Mobile platform is not new to Dell as their now-retired Axim line used to use Windows Mobile.
