Rumors: Dell to return to handheld device market    [ 19-03-2008 17:04 ]

Digitimes.com has reported that Dell will resume its handheld business with Foxconn Electronics manufacturing new models. However this time the company deals with Windows Mobile communicators and smartphones, not handheld PC. Last year Dell hired Ron Garriques, a former executive vice president at Motorola, he will be in charge of handheld device direction.

I’d remind you that Dell ceased shipments of PDA in the mid of 2007 and officially announced it wouldn’t launch new models. Then some rumors leaked to the world web suggesting that the company was working on a communicator in cooperation with a Taiwanese maker, and that this would be an Android device. But this info has no official confirmation, so far.

Samsung has developed an 8-megapixel CMOS camera module for mobile phones. It measures 28x15.3x8.5 mm. this camera copes well in poor light conditions with highest ISO 1600 level. In addition it supports anti-shake, face detection and macro mode for 1cm shots. The new chip is 10% slimmer than the current 5-megapixel solutions on the market, says the manufacturer. Samsung expects to apply the new chip in high-end mobile phones in the second half of 2008. The tiny size of the camera module gives chances for a slim phone equal to mid-range digital still cameras.
