Axim Rising From Dead: Dell To Resume Handheld Production
In what I feel is a surprising turn it seems Dell will reenter the handheld market again after exiting in late 2007.
Dell reportedly plans to resume its handheld device business and the company may team up with Foxconn Electronics (Hon Hai Precision Industry) to develop Windows Mobile-based handheld devices, according to market sources in Taiwan. [...]
Dell apparently has accelerated its move towards the handheld device segment following Acer’s recent announcement of acquiring Taiwan-based smartphone maker E-Ten Information Systems, the sources added.
Foxconn, an important partner for Dell, is also reportedly recruiting talent from other Taiwan-based handset makers in preparation for accepting orders from Dell, the sources pointed out.
I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for the Axim line, but wondering if Dell will be producing a smartphone?
