Despite us clearly seeing the phone in the flesh (and assuming it was made official) Dell represenatives have stepped forward to say that the phone you saw, wasn’t actually a real phone. In fact, they are saying the Dell Mini 3i we saw was nothing more than a “proof of concept” to let everyone know that they are in fact making a Android/oPhone based handset for China Mobile.

Regardless of what PR stunt Dell is trying to pull here, I think it’s safe to assume that we will in fact be seeing the Mini 3i hit China Mobile at some point in the future. We’ll just have to wait for Dell to come forth and tell us they were kidding, and that the phone we previously saw is actually real.

Using mobile phones and gadgets are normally prohibited on flights. However, we have been seeing a new evolution in this area as some airlines have been allowing it.

As far as bizjets are concerned, the need for some solution to control this area is a need and apparently SafeCell has come up with one which they have launched globally.

The SafeCell intellectual property is a patent application and proof of concept to allow a mobile phone to be operated safely in-flight, by disabling a mobile phones primary transmitter and communicating via the mobile phones auxiliary communications port i.e. Bluetooth or USB SafeCell communicates with the ground via existing low cost satellite networks providing an inexpensive in-flight mobile phone messaging solution.
