Global computer manufacturing giant Dell released its smart phone offering in the US for the first time as it seeks to capture market share in the segment which is predicted to eventually grow even larger than the market for personal computers.

The Round Rock Texas based company launched the Aero smartphone in the US on Tuesday, which is powered by the Android operating system, and the phone will be priced at US$100 on AT&T’s mobile network.

The device features a 3.5 inch screen and comes bundled with a five megapixel camera, weighing in at 104 grams, which makes it one of the lightest smartphones available according to Dell.

Ron Garriques an executive with the company says the Aero is designed “to help people find new ways to connect with friends and express themselves socially” using built in features such as Facebook, You Tube and Twitter apps.

The company first waded into the smartphone market late last year, when it released the mini 3 in China. Earlier this year the company then launched The Streak, a five inch hybrid tablet/smartphone. Both offerings also run on Android.

It is still not yet known when Dell Australia will launch smartphones in the country.
