Bolstering rumors they reported previously, MSMobiles says that European super-retailer ALDI will be selling a Medion-branded Microsoft Smartphone. This is notable if for no other reason than Medion’s position as one of the top PDA brands in Europe—almost solely to their distribution via ALDI. Think of it like Wal-Mart selling a rebranded smartphone, if that helps. If nothing else, it’s a continuing sign that smartphones are no longer the domain of the wealthy and geeky, and that the particular set of features that encompass the term have now become common requirement. No word on the specific features of this phone, but you can do as I did and squint at the tiny writing for a few minutes before you realize it’s in German.
