Computer-maker Dell has secured a partnership with Telefonica (NYSE: TEF<\/a>) to extend its mobile business to Latin America and Europe.<\/p>\n

The partnership will focus on building smartphones for the market, but will likely also include Dell’s other portable products, such as netbooks and tablets, IDC News Service reports<\/a>. The deal is significant for Dell because it represents the latest big-name carrier that its been able to secure a partnership with since creating a standalone mobile-phone unit in December<\/a>. Other computer-makers, like Lenovo are just getting off the ground with their mobile-phone efforts.<\/p>\n

Dell has focused on the hardware while relying on Google’s Android operating system for the software, and has already introduced products in China via China Mobile and will soon enter the U.S. market through a partnership with AT&T (NYSE: T<\/a>). Other partnerships exist in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Brazil.\n<\/p>\n
