Forbes: Dell, Quanta "Cooking Up" Smartphone

Pocket PC Central Press

December 7, 2007 - It's been eight months since Dell discontinued its Axim line of Windows Mobile PDAs, and in that time there have been several rumors regarding an upcoming smartphone from the computer giant, rumors that were given new life in a recent Forbes article. Near the end of the story, it is reported that Dell and Quanta are rumored to be working on a smartphone for release "early next year." This is the second time in 2007 that the two companies have been linked with regard to a smartphone device.

In April, a similar rumor was reported by DigiTimes. At that time the smartphone, code named "Fly," was described as running Windows Mobile 6 Professional, though this detail is not corroborated by the Forbes article. DigiTimes also reported that the Fly would be a PDA Phone with a touchscreen interface.

In the past, Dell has been more successful than many of its competitors at maintaining fairly tight lock down on upcoming product information, and neither Forbes nor Pocket PC Central were not able to confirm this story.

Stay tuned to Pocket PC Central for more information on any Dell-branded PDA phone or smartphone in the coming weeks.
