Another day, another smartphone leak
Engadget, eager to strike back at arch-rival Gizmodo after the iPhone scoop, is publishing what looks to be leaked pictures of Dell's new smartphone range running Android and Windows 7.
The Windows 7 handset, codenamed Lightning, has a five megapixel camera, 1GB of storage and an 8GB microSD card, as well as an accelerometer, GPS, FM radio and full Flash support. It also has a sliding QWERTY keyboard to be used in portrait mode, like the Palm Pre.
It's going to be pitched at the business market, and Microsoft is also hoping to snag the design enthusiasts with its lines. Lightning will be sold through AT&T and T-Mobile and be integrated with Zune marketplace.
The second handset, 'Thunder', runs Android 2.1 and has software integrating it with Flash 10.1, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Hulu. An eight megapixel video camera is built in and Dell will be aiming it at the consumer and creative markets.
Both handsets run 1GHz QSD8250 Snapdragon processors, have 4.1in multitouch OLED displays and are due to be out at the end of the year, with LTE models out at the end of 2011 via AT&T.
While stuff like this comes with the usual caveats about leaked material the presentation does look genuine and is in a similar style to earlier images of Dell's tablet devices. Looks like the computing number one is serious about getting into the mobile market.
