Dell leaked yesterday, Aero as compared to the other crazy handsets
is definitely the runt of the litter. But the Aero will be first on your doorstep with a leaked Q2 AT&T release date.
On the hardware side, it is a slow 624MHz Marvell processor that drives that 3.5 inch capacitive multitouch screen. But it is planned to ship with a capacitive stylus for handwriting recognition like the Chinese model.
More interesting is the software. Aero comes with QuickOffice right out of the box like Motorola’s CLIQ and supports Microsoft ActiveSync and Exchange to keep in touch with your work or business. There is on-device photo editing and ‘aggregated notifications’ for the gathering of social networks Dell’s agreed to support.
The device would have a WebKit browser with Flash Lite, leaks reveal it will have a robust media player also – robust enough to have some sort of download ability and music streaming protected by Windows Media DRM. Though it is still Android 1.5 onboard, docs show Dell plans a “refresh” to Android 2.1 sometime between Q3 and Q4, but it is not easy to say whether the Aero will get an OTA update or only new Aeros will ship with Eclair.
So, just wait and find out this handset.
