Michael Dell Does Not Deny Cellphone Plans
In Davos, Dell founder Michael Dell describes reports that the company is getting into the cellphone business as a "rumor." But he doesn't say the reports are not true.
Reuters: Michael Dell said on Friday that reports of Dell’s cell phone ambitions were “best described as a rumor” when chased by reporters at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
This, of course, means nothing. Many rumors in the tech business turn out to be true. (Many false, as well.)
Meanwhile, the New York Times is the latest to report that Dell has been working on smartphone prototypes based on both Microsoft's (MSFT) Windows Mobile and Google's (GOOG) Android software. But the Times says it's not true that Dell will announce its phone at next month's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, as rumored.
