Dell to partner Baidu to develop tablets, mobile (Reuters) Sep 6th 2011, 01:56 SHANGHAI (Reuters) – Dell Inc said on Tuesday it will partner China's top search engine Baidu Inc to develop tablet computers and mobile handsets. Baidu offered a glimpse of its upcoming mobile operating system and launched a new mobile application platform last Friday aimed at bolstering its presence in the increasingly competitive mobile web market. "We have a partnership with Baidu and you know we have the Streak 5 tablet, so the partnership will be in that space," said a Dell spokeswoman, adding that both firms were also cooperating on the mobile handset front. Dell declined to give a timeline for the launch of the devices but local media reported on Tuesday, quoting sources, that it may be as early as November. Dell's Streak 5 tablet is a five-inch Android-based tablet that was discontinued in the United States last month. Baidu declined to comment. (Reporting by Melanie Lee; Editing by Jacqueline Wong)
