Dell's Smartphone

Right now, there is a fairly wide variety of smartphones available to consumers (both recreational users and those who use them for more "business" activities). However, in America, there can never be too many options. An article I found on the internet has said that the giant computer company Dell will be entering the market for smartphones in 2008 sometime. The article quotes a Forbes' article which says that Dell will indeed be releasing a smartphone (Dell has actually not commented on the report itself). According to the report, Dell's device will (like many other smartphones) include an MP3 player, a video player, and internet access. The article did not specify, however, whether the smartphone will offer the cellular-wireless or Wi-Fi only voice and data access. most smartphones today do include both of these, so I would hope that Dell's product would not take a technological step back and only offer once. Perhaps we should wait until we hear a definitive announcement from Dell before we really start analyzing what the company should and should not do. For consumers, however, it is always a good thing when new products enter the market, so this is good news for smartphone users.
