According to Laptop Magazine, Dell could be unveiling its own branded smartphone as early as next month. Analysts are reporting that Dell has the new smartphone ready and if it proves accurate this will be the first Dell branded smartphone ever.

We can assume that any smartphone Dell fields will offer up the features that customers are used to in today's market. Namely, it would likely be a touchscreen device with the capability to browse the Internet, send text messages and other features.

The real question is what OS will the handset run? Would it be another Windows Mobile handset or will Dell possibly chose to go more open source with Google Android power. Another big factor will be the mobile service the handset is tied to. You can bet an iPhone competitor won’t likely be offered via AT&T. My money says we are looking at a Windows Mobile device.
