Dell may be about to enter the smartphone market as early as next month, according to the Wall Street Journal. A skunk-works team within Dell has been working on prototypes for over a year. One possible design has a sliding keyboard, while another has a simple slab design. Both Windows Mobile and Android operating systems are being considered. The first device(s) could be announced at next month's MWC trade show, although no final decisions have been made, and the effort could still be abandoned altogether before launch.
