Dell Creates Dedicated Mobile Unit
PrintDell wants everyone to know this whole smartphone thing isn’t a joke. After officially announcing the Dell Mini 3ix Android phone for Brazil, the computer maker is forming a dedicated mobile division under the control of Ron Garriques (formerly of Motorola). The group will focus on developing hardware and software for future Dell phones.
Dell was once the dominant PC maker in the world, but has recently faltered, falling behind both HP and Acer. By getting into the smartphone race Dell may be trying to catch up to its rivals, both of which make phones as well as PCs. There are currently no official plans to bring a Dell smartphone to the US. If the bizarrely under equipped Chinese 3i and slightly better Brazilian 3ix do well, the company may feel confident enough to enter the US market.
