In January we reported that Dell was preparing to enter the smartphone business, and today it appears that rumor has been confirmed.
This morning at the Mobile World Congress event in Barcelona, AT&T Mobility CEO Ralph De La Vega noted that "Dell announced they're entering the smart phone market." Although Dell has not confirmed anything yet, the word of the CEO of one of the largest carriers in America seems to be pretty solid at this point.
Previous reports have said that a group of engineers at Dell have been working on a phone based on the Android operating system for over a year now, and on a phone based on Windows Mobile for over six months.
Dell will be focusing on the increasingly crowded smartphone market, currently led by Apple, RIM and Palm and their two devices will likely be a touchscreen phone and one with a slide out QWERTY keyboard.
