Dell is set to enter into a cooperation agreement with China Unicom, whereby the latter will distribute Dell's Smartphones based on Google's Android open-source platform , the SinoCast Daily Business Beat reported on July 14. The Dell Android phone, to be manufactured by Taiwan-based EMS (Electronic Manufacturing Services) supplier Foxconn, is slated for commercialization in China some time around in the Fall of 2009, according to the same source.
