Dell Smartphone Next Year?

This is noteworthy.  Dell is usually late to a market and when they do make something it usually starts a price war. J

It's funny, but whether or not you find this notable can probably be determined on how you frame this news. "Dell building cellular-network PDA hybrid," doesn't really give anybody a softie. "Dell to Launch a Mobile Phone," sounds a lot more interesting. Let's work with that.

It's unknown if this device will actually be a more phone-like device, like say the Treo or any of the Windows Smartphone handsets, but it is reported to have a small keyboard in place of a numberpad, and come in both GSM and CDMA versions.
