There have been rumors for a while that Dell may come out with a handheld of their own and there are still no 100% guarantees it will ever get past a prototype but there is something in the works. Those who have been lucky enough to handle the phone fetus liken it to a slightly thicker ipod touch style device. The current configuration packs a ARM processor and Google’s Andriod Mobile Operating system. Its surprising that Dell did not go with Intel for their processing needs on this one considering the two companies close knit relationship.
The earliest predictions for a possible release date on the device is the second half of 2009. After it has been re-designed nine more times and delayed a few time I think it is very unlikly to see this before the end of the year which is disappointing but I can always be wrong.
There is no talk of what carriers will get the privilage of selling the Dell Phone but it will most likely work the same way things do with thier 3G enabled netbooks do when it is finally released to the general public.
