Remember Dell Streak, the original phablet that never took off. Well, now its maker has also realised that they won’t be able to crack the smartphone market, thus Dell is pulling the plug on its smartphone business.
Company’s head of consumer business Jeff Clarke revealed to Forbes at Dell World Conference that it (read smartphone business) needs a lot of investments to really be successful, so they are leaving it and would not be jumping back anytime soon.
Dell blames lack of viable business angle with Android for their unsuccessful stint and departure.
“It’s a content play with Android. Amazon is selling books and Google is making it up with search. So far we couldn’t find a way to build a business on Android,” added Clarke.
