Michael Dell: Developing Windows smartphones 'easier' than Android

Not much detail here, just some vagaries uttered by Michael Dell at an event in Hong Kong. According to Reuters, Mr. Dell said that it's easier to develop smartphones using Microsoft's Windows operating system than Google's Android. Something that he, or at least his developers, should know something about having dabbled a bit on both platforms. Unfortunately, that's all we've got -- hopefully more details will be revealed later to give this some context. Switching gears, he also said that Dell would be launching a "significant number" of tablet PC models next year. Next year huh? What happened to Dell's 7-inch Looking Glass tablet that was coming in "a few weeks" now more than one month ago?
