Windows Phone Thoughts: Dell, Good Teaming on PDA/cell Phone Combo

"Dell Computer and Good Technology are working together on designing a new wireless handheld for corporate customers, the companies have just announced. The Dell-branded product, expected to be completed next year, would run Good's wireless messaging system. Meanwhile, Dell, which began selling its own Microsoft Pocket PC-based handhelds in November, said Tuesday that it would begin selling Good's G100 wireless messaging device."

This news report tells me two things: in the immediate future, Dell is going to be selling current Good Technology hardware. Boring. But they're teaming up on a "new wireless device" that will incorporate Good Technology as well, and will also be a phone. So I'm predicting a Dell Axim X7 Pocket PC Phone Edition device with integrated Good push technology and GPRS data/phone functionality. Considering the number of times I've seen people say "I wish my Pocket PC functioned like my RIM Blackberry..." this may be a potent combo indeed!
