Dell Computer, a Round Rock, Texas based computer maker, is looking to enter the smartphone market and is currently toying with phones based on Google’s Android and Microsoft’s Windows Mobile operating systems, reports the Wall Street Journal.

The Journal says that of the two models under development, one is a touchscreen phone, while another phone will have a slider that hides beneath the screen. So I assume one targets iPhone and the other targets Blackberry?

Dell bought Zing with grand ambitions that are still unrealized and Dell have been discountinued with the Axim PDA line. Some are speculating that the new Dell phone(s) will be called the MePhones. Please change the name! I rather call it xPhone or MyPhone. Can you think of a name? Leave a feedback if you do

Finally, the Dev-Team has just rolled out its offical iPhone 3G unlock known as “yellowsn0w“. It isn’t exactly a polished product yet though, but there are already reports of successful unlocks appearing all over the Internet. For you running the iPhone’s latest v2.2 firmware, fret not — it works with that version as well. There will be even more unlocked iPhone 3G in the market of 2009.

iPhone has been the #1 topic since its launched on July 11, 2008.

As you might have seen in the Apple’s big announcement, the 3G iPhone will be released on July 11! This includes Canada, and the price for an 8GB 3G iPhone will be a scant $199, while the 16GB version will only set you back $299! This is only partially surprising: first, the hardware itself is cheaper than the one in the original iPhone. Apple also had the time to cost-reduce its hardware platform and negotiate better prices overall.

Finally, the real money that Apple will make is in the wireless subscriptions, not the hardware itself. Apple wants to compete with Blackberry and to increase the market share! Overall, I think this is a good move - not only benefit us as consumers but it benefits the 3rd party software developers, and phone service carriers.

AT&T Mobility CEO Ralph de la Vega mentioned earlier in the event that he expected all of their smart integrated devices to be 3G in the next couple months - which includes iPhone.

This news comes from the controversial Chinese site CNMO.com. As Microsoft makes more profit on Office than it does on its current Vista OS, they want to make the software widely available in many different platform. MacBooks run Microsoft Office and Apple does  not really have a product that can compete with Office. But this remain unofficial as I’d like to hear from Apple and Microsoft.
