Android to Overtake iPhone: AT&T Plan Ahead with Dell

Following on from our post yesterday about “Google Android will overtake Apple iPhone by 2012”, this shows that AT&T is planning ahead since its announcement of its first Android phone. Dell will make the phone and allow AT&T to sell the handset to its customers.

PC World has been looking more closely in to this and asks what “Would AT&T Want Dell’s Android Phone?” The claim that Google Android overtaking the iPhone in a few years is certainly a strange one, given the fact that the iPhone is indeed a phone, where Android is just an OS.

PC World explains that it makes sense for AT&T to do a deal with Dell and join the Android part as their competitors have already done. This is seen as forward planning on AT&Ts part, as they need to set plans for its future for when they do finally lose exclusivity on the Apple iPhone.

The future certainly looks good for AT&T; they have the iPhone, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile and now Android. The only thing that AT&T needs to do now is improve its customer service and its network coverage.
