This is a rather useless article that I'm guessing got modded up because of the Iphone in the title, it doesn't give much substance and seems to bash dell, a company who is spreading into other markets and learning as they go. It's not like apple went out and made an iphone in a day, why would it be any different for dell.<p>Anyways whats with this 'killer' trend it is rather annoying, of course nothing is going to kill another thing and if they try the most they could become is a replacement, just as no OS will kill another and no mp3 player will kill another they are alternatives.
This is a total fluff piece. They talk about a phone which has been rejected as too dull, but dell has not even commented on making a phone, nor have any of the carriers commented on it being too dull. Either this is link bait pure and simple or I failed at reading it.
I think its smart for Dell to move into the mobile business, but stick with what they do best, make the cheapest commodity phone on the market, have it run android, and profit off people replacing it every 6-12 months when it breaks.
