Only some days after introducing its own Android-like OS, Baidu is now seeking to expand its mobile reach to the hardware front, with assistance from Dell. In accordance with Reuters, the Chinese search giant has joined forces with the computer manufacturer to provide a line of tablets and smartphones within China, within the hopes of capitalizing on a market of greater than 900 million mobile subscribers. A Dell spokeswoman declined to give a launch date for the hot line of goods, but sources as regards to the problem say they might launch as early as November. Details at the devices remain equally opaque, though Dell seems intent on resurrecting its tablet / handset unit, following the demise of the Streak 5 . “We’ve got a partnership with Baidu and also you know we have now the Streak 5 tablet, so the partnership would be in that space,” the company’s rep explained, adding that future releases would involve Baidu’s mobile app platform, besides. Today’s announcement also comes after Dell’s Chinese sales grew by 22 percent in the course of the first quarter of this year, though it continues to be seen even if this alliance may have much affect on a market currently dominated by Apple and Lenovo.
