AT&T is going Android too
Not to be left behind in the future, AT&T – current home of Apple’s iPhone – has just announced a deal to bring a brand new Android phone to their line-up.
At a press conference here at CES in Las Vegas, AT&T told the world that they will be soon selling the new Dell Mini 3 Android OS-based smartphone.
Dell is no stranger to producing modern-day connected wireless devices. They already have partnership deals with Vodafone in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, M1 and Starhub in Singapore; Maxis in Malaysia, China Mobile in China; and Claro in Brazil
As for the actual AT&T/Dell Mini 3 phone, this is how Dell explains their new model in public relations speak:
“The Mini 3 smart phones create an easy-to-use mobile Internet experience. The Android-based platform gives the Mini 3 optimal power, flexibility and customization opportunities for both users and operators. Collaboration between Dell and AT&T combines the very best in performance and style. And, with AT&T’s largest Wi-Fi hotspot network, and fastest 3G network, Dell and AT&T will provide today’s social media mavens with the ability to simultaneously Tweet friends, post Facebook updates, share pictures and browse the Web.”
Not many meaty details in there.
What all this really means is that we won’t be hearing much about the new phone’s specifications until AT&T is closer to releasing it to the buying public – expected sometime in the first half of this year.
But, they were nice enough to give us an alleged photo of the thing.
More details as they crawl in.
