Michael Dell says Dell phone is coming in 2010, and may use platforms other than Android
| October 19, 2009 | Posted by Alyssa Duval under Electronics, Gadgets, Tech News |
Dell CEO Michael Dell has been saying that his company will be trotting its Ophone-based mini 3i Android-powered smartphone out to consumers in the US. Dell says the device will hit in early 2010. Today we get word that Android may not be the only OS that Dell uses in its US-bound smartphones.
MocoNews reports that Dell talked about subjects other than smartphones too. According to Dell unless people are concerned with power or price notebooks are where most computer sales are made. Dell also says he doesn’t see the netbook getting very big. I wonder if he has read the latest sales reports.
Perhaps that netbook bit is just wishful thinking on his part. Dell figures netbooks will level off at 12 to 15% of the computer market and doesn’t see it getting any higher than that. Talking about smartphones, Dell said, “There are some other open platforms that are emerging that are similar to other businesses we participate in.”
Sony Ericsson XPERIA X3 Snapdragon Android phone leaked!

The Android race is hotting up, with another leaked live image of the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X3 showing there’s plenty of room in the market for a big-screen slab of megapixel-toting smartphone. Yet another handset tipped to use Qualcomm’s 1GHz Snapdragon chipset – as found in the recently announced Acer Liquid A1 and expected to make an appearance in the rumored HTC Dragon – the XPERIA X3 will also pack an 8-megapixel autofocus camera.
Up front there’s a 4-inch 852 x 480 capacitive touchscreen, while under the hood lurks both dualband HSPA, WiFi b/g and GPS. Full specifications for the handset were previewed by a prematurely posted Expansys product listing, though right now there’s nothing approaching official confirmation from Sony Ericsson themselves.
What’s not on show from this snapshot is the distinctive UI that Sony Ericsson are tipped to have included on the smartphone, back when we knew it under the codename “Rachel”. That UI – which you can see in a leaked video demo after the cut – is expected to replace the standard Android interface perhaps even more fully than HTC Sense does on the HTC Hero. The XPERIA X3 is expected to arrive on the market in January 2010.
Which smart phone has the better browser?

MSNBC.com has taken a hard look at some of the best smart phones on the market and they have attempted to answer a difficult question. Just which of these phones provides users with a better internet browser?
The article points to three phones as having the best browser available, and not surprisingly, the iPhone is among that bunch. The Mobile Safari is the browser that belongs to iPhone, and it is joined on the list by Palm Pre and Google’s Android Mobile OS.
So what sets these three apart from all of the rest of the browsers out there? To put it simply, they are easier to use than all of the rest. They run quickly, they are easy on the eyes, and they have become fully functional because of the ease with which you can use the features. These phones provide their owners with the ability to fully browse the internet without too many problems, and that is significant in this market, where phones have become known for not providing their owners with nearly enough.
