DELL Inc is in talks with Google Inc over using the forthcoming Chrome operating system on its laptops, according to a top company executive yesterday.
"We have to have a point of view on the industry and technology direction two years, three years down the road, so we continuously work with Google on this," Amit Midha, Dell's president for Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan and South Asia told Reuters in an interview.
"There are going to be unique innovations coming up in the marketplace in two, three years, with a new form of computing, we want to be on that forefront ... So with Chrome or Android or anything like that we want to be one of the leaders," Midha said.
Google has said it expects to release its Chrome computer operating system in the "late fall," taking aim at rival Microsoft's Windows.
Midha said Dell would release a new smartphone for the China market in coming months that would run on the TD-SCDMA network, China's homegrown third-generation mobile network.
The new smartphone would be released with China Mobile and would be a full-featured smartphone with a built-in television tuner, he said.
