Dell is dropping its plans to build a cellphone running Microsoft’s Smartphone operating system:
Chief operating officer Kevin Rollins said this week that the presence of Nokia would make handsets a difficult market to break into and that the sector is less attractive than other consumer devices because so much profit and balance of power goes to the mobile operators.
Disappointing news, if for no other reason than that a Dell Smartphone would have shaken up the market and forced everyone else to lower their prices.
