Dell backing out of all their WP7 Mango devices? According to sources, Dell may be backing out of their planned Windows Phone 7 Mango devices.
It appears that the computer giant could even be considering dropping out of WP7 devices, in general.

A leaked roadmap earlier this year showed Dell was developing an updated Venue Pro but that seems to be scratched for now.

According to a "high ranking exec" in Dell, the company will not offer any WP devices until Windows Phone 8 Apollo. The company will, however, continue support for the Venue Pro.

All existing WP7 devices will be updated to Mango, soon.
