Dell Says: Hello Convergence?
Posted by Jon Westfall in "NEWS" @ 02:47 PM
"A rumor is circulating that Dell intends to phase out its line of traditional handhelds. However, according to BargainPDA, this doesn't mean that the company is necessarily going to completely stop making mobile devices."
Rumors are flying that Dell plans on axing it's traditional PDA devices to move to smartphones (small s - unknown if these will be Pocket PC Phone Editions or Smartphones). Dell is one of the last OEMs to adopt devices with some form of cellular radio, so it would make sense they would jump into convergence. However, if they do, they will be one of the ONLY OEMs that abandon all of their traditional PDAs for converged devices.
