Dell looks to make a splash in this space this year as details about several phones and handheld devices would indicate.

The Snapdragon processor, which seems to be rapidly becoming the standard against all other are judged, is running a 4.1-inch OLED screen that looks gorgeous in the leaked photos. The Lightning is a portrait slider with a QWERTY keyboard which will make quite a few folks happy. In addition to all of the hardware goodness packed in the Lightning, leaked details indicate it will get an LTE upgrade in the last quarter of this year. Oh my, the Dell Lightning is looking mighty tasty.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/04\/dell-thunder.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  title=\"Dell Thunder\" src=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/04\/dell-thunder.jpg?w=148&#038;h=140\" alt=\"\" width=\"148\" height=\"140\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-62381\" \/><\/a>Several Android phones are in the works by Dell, including the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2010\/04\/21\/dell-thunder-explodes-android-with-4-1-inch-oled-screen-promise\/\">Thunder<\/a> which has a hardware design that looks similar to the Lightning without the slider and with Android on board. The Thunder is reported to also have a 4.1-inch display, and Dell is following HTC&#8217;s route by putting its own shell on top of Android to make it distinguishable from the competition. The &#8220;Stage&#8221; UI follows a familiar route by integrating social networking into the UI, in a very attractive package. The Thunder is also reported to be coming in an LTE version late this year.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/04\/dell-flash.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  title=\"Dell Flash\" src=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/04\/dell-flash.jpg?w=110&#038;h=140\" alt=\"\" width=\"110\" height=\"140\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-62383\" \/><\/a>Dell is not forgetting those looking for a cheaper, simpler phone, as the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2010\/04\/21\/dell-flash-to-offer-android-froyo-in-a-dramatic-package\/\">Flash<\/a> proves. This handset will have a slower processor and more sedate design, but with the same Android and Stage UI as the Thunder. There will be a smaller 3.5-inch screen on the Flash, and all of the standard features one expects in a smartphone. The Flash is expected in early 2011.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/04\/dell-streak.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  title=\"Dell Streak\" src=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/04\/dell-streak.jpg?w=210&#038;h=108\" alt=\"\" width=\"210\" height=\"108\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-62385\" \/><\/a>We have been teased by Dell with handheld Android tablets for quite some time, but haven&#8217;t seen any hit the market yet. That teasing has been cranked up to a high level with new information about the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2010\/04\/21\/dell-streak-to-bump-up-to-android-2-1-in-september-hopefully-sh\/\">Dell Streak<\/a>, the 5-inch handheld tablet that is now reported to get the latest version of Android in September. This news is exciting as it may mean we&#8217;ll actually be able to buy one of these puppies soon. The Streak is looking mighty fine with its dual cameras hinting at video conferencing.<\/p>\n<div id=\"inline-related-posts-62376\" class=\"widget inline-related-posts alignleft clearfix\">\n<div class=\"widget-wrap\">\n<div class=\"widget-title-wrap clearfix\">\n<h2 class=\"widget-title\">More on <span><a class=\"category-link\" href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/topic\/android\/\" title=\"Android\">Android<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<ul class=\"inline-related-posts\">\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-related-posts-article\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2010\/04\/21\/freedom-pro-keyboard-works-with-most-anything\/\">Freedom Pro Keyboard &#8212; Works with Most&nbsp;Anything<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"brand-icon jk-run\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\" title=\"Visit: jkOnTheRun - This is a description.\">Gadget Gurus<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-related-posts-article\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2010\/04\/16\/dell-streak-tablet\/\">Two Android Tablets Streaking from&nbsp;Dell<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"brand-icon jk-run\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\" title=\"Visit: jkOnTheRun - This is a description.\">Gadget Gurus<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-related-posts-article\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2010\/04\/07\/where-are-the-android-superphones-verizon\/\">Where are the Android Superphones,&nbsp;Verizon?<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"brand-icon jk-run\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\" title=\"Visit: jkOnTheRun - This is a description.\">Gadget Gurus<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-related-posts-article\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2010\/04\/07\/rhpasody-android\/\">Rhapsody Now Connecting on&nbsp;Android<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"brand-icon jk-run\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\" title=\"Visit: jkOnTheRun - This is a description.\">Gadget Gurus<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div class=\"widget-bottom clearfix\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>A big shout out to our friends at Engadget for getting all of this &#8220;secret&#8221; information about Dell&#8217;s mobile roadmap.
