Dell Launches First U.S. Smartphone


By Allen Tsai | Wed Aug 25, 2010 12:28 pm

Dell released the Aero, its first U.S. smartphone, on AT&T for $100 with a two-year contract, making the company the latest computer maker to enter the competitive mobile device market.

The Round Rock, Texas-based company said the Aero features a 3.5-inch touch screen display, 5.0-megapixel camera and runs on Google's Android 1.5 software with support for Adobe's Flash.

Flash has become a high-profile topic since Apple chief executive Steve Jobs publicly slammed it, saying the software was unfit for its products.

Dell's move comes as profit margins from PCs grow thinner and thinner. Energized by Apple's success with the iPhone, tech companies looking to diversify their business are increasingly jockeying for position in the lucrative, but fiercely-competitive, smartphone market.

The Aero follows the launch of the Streak, the company's Android-powered tablet, already on sale through AT&T.
