Windows Phone and Android plans could be paused by Dell
18.05.12
, The Wrigley, a sequel to the Venue Pro, has been cancelled as well as have been plans for any Windows Phone 7 hardware for 2012. The smartphone may still be in planning phase.
The Texas-based firm may hold off until Windows Phone 8, which is expected in late 2012.
Dell may also freeze its overall Android plans because support for existing devices like the Venue and Aero is ramping down. A new Android phone, the Streak Pro 101DL, is coming but may be limited to Japan.
The new strategy has not been confirmed so far. The company has claimed to have a positive view of Windows Phone. However, it was absent from any mention as being a Windows Phone 7 Mango device partner. Maybe it is reconsidering its efforts after some glitches conducted to criticism of its Venue Pro, although the handset was well received.
Like HP, Dell has had some trouble related to credibility in the mobile area, in phones and in tablets as well. Some problems with quality, competitive features, and timely updates have largely kept the company out of the market. The only company that obtained a real success in branching out was Apple.
