Dell reportedly reboots smartphone plans
After a poor response from operators, Dell has abandoned its initial designs for Windows and Android smartphones, reports say.
The reports are based on a note issued by Kaufman Brothers analyst Shaw Wu, who apparently said Dell had now "gone back to the drawing board" in a bid to create more distinctive designs.
Dell has never officially said it is working on a smartphone, but in February AT&T chief executive Ralph de la Vega accidentally outed the manufacturer's intentions at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
