Dell Android Mobile Internet Device Brewing?

According to the Wall Street Journal, Dell is considering joining the Mobile Internet Device brigade. The article claims that the pocket-sized device is ARM-based and powered by the Android operating system.

But don’t call the device a smartphone. It is being positioned as a Apple iPod touch competitor or, as the headline says, a “pocket Web Gadget.” In our opinion, MIDs have been tweener devices that don’t yet have voice capabilities (yes, we did say they make no sense).

Other than ARM and Android, there are not too many details, except that the project could be “delayed or scrapped entirely.” All in all, we have more questions than we know what do do with. What will be the internal platform? Nvidia’s Tegra? Qualcom’s Snapdragon? Is this the rumored Dell smartphone we have been hearing about for months? And above all…do people even want a Android MID? Tell us in the poll and in the comments.
