Posted on Tuesday, June 30 2009 @ 15:15:18 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck |
Anonymous sources told WSJ that Dell is working on a Mobile Internet Device (MID) that runs Google's Android operating system. Prototypes of this web gadget reportedly look slightly larger than the iPod Touch.The gadget would run on Google Inc.'s Android software, these people said. Two people who saw early prototypes described the device as slightly larger than Apple Inc.'s iPod Touch, which is similar to the iPhone but does not have cellphone capabilities.
Another person who was briefed on the company's plans said Dell may begin selling the device later this year, though this person said the plan could be delayed or scrapped entirely.
The development effort is one of the first experiments by a big-name PC maker in a nascent category of products known as mobile Internet devices, or MIDs,which are designed to fill a perceived gap between mobile phones and laptop computers.
