Announced back in March, Dell’s Aero Android smartphone is now available from AT&T for $100 clams.
A 3.5-inch screen, 5-megapixel camera with 8x zoom and flash and just about every other feature you’d want can not be offset by the fact that the Aero is running Android 1.5. Here’s Dell’s official statement on why that is:
It’s a superset of 1.5. Dell developed a tremendous amount of customization and features on top of cupcake to deliver the experiences that matter most to customers. Popular features Dell incorporated on top of cupcake include Microsoft email with Active Sync, handwriting recognition, one-click upload of photos to social sites. We’ve also pre-loaded popular applications such as Facebook with integrated phonebook and calendar, added a connection manager, and implemented Search on the device or web.
