Dell smartphone to the Board: a dodgy game

As early as two years before, the commerce rumors Dell desire to go in the intelligent telephone market. In specific, Dell PDA go out the market, the Dell furthermore accelerated into the intelligent telephone market, job preparation.

Recently, Dell CEO Michael Dell said the financial gathering will be included in the brainy portable handset market. March 26, Sina Technology him in an exclusive interview that Dell’s wares line will be broadened to brainy handsets, “Now we moved into many of high-profile new environs, for instance storage, services, etc., we have moved into a 3-6 city. can observe that the wares line is in addition affluent and has a tiny video screen of portable Internet inventions and even brainy handsets have. ”

The scribe accepts as factual that wading Dell smartphone market, either of two ways: First, start all over afresh, self-development. Investment in this way, the cycle extent, slow outcomes on the new Board are harshly disadvantaged. Are two chickens lay for demonstration scrounge, through the acquisition of intelligent telephone manufacturers are now exactly market, which Dell are likely the most expected way of selection.

It has been uncovered that Dell for the acquisition of brainy handset manufacturers which in addition had to arrange, and is by surface. Palm, it is best to pay for Dell. At present, Palm concerned, much-needed investment. And the acquisition of Palm, Dell to move into smartphone highly accelerate the tempo on. Well-known Silicon Valley IT expert (Sramana Mitra) have assembled the acquisition of righteousness Dell Palm, she consider, Palm portable handset not only has Pre, have a many brainy handset running system. Palm market worth of only 800 million U.S. dollars, in time spans of the Dell is not a large summation of money.

Of course, Dell to enter smartphone market, not the bag, there is no risk. In fact, the current strong market, many smartphones, the new Board to the Department are not born again in order to find their own position, there is considerable difficulty. Apple iPhone is king in this market, Wang, in terms of brand awareness, market share and technical services, Apple’s rivals are stronger than others. Google, with Android system, are also developing their own smart phones, power can not be. In addition, Nokia’s Symbian platform portability advantages, market share increase steadily; Microsoft through the Windows Mobile system, was the strength of confrontation with the Palm.

In short, the intelligent wireless telephone market-by-day affray will be fierce adversaries will be less and less. After a sequence of power, will finally endure, and only those who are large-scale and powerful rivals. Therefore, in this case, Dell for the development of multi-business, wading Smart wireless telephone market, no question endeavouring, face tremendous obstacles. Kaufman Brothers (Kaufman Bros) study believe Dell has a prototype of its intelligent telephones to the AT & T and Sprint Nextel to check, but address the other goods do not have too much discovery, so not interested.

To sum up, regardless of the manner in which Dell to enter smartphone market, I think the prospects are not good, and the situation is grim. Dell can at a white-hot competition for survival, one stroke out of a road ,be time to verify.
