Speaking at the Citi Technology Conference today in NYC, Michael Dell admitted that his company might one day reach out into the small screen arena. When asked about Dell releasing an iPhone-type device, he said:
You’ll see us with smaller and smaller devices that have capabilities of the devices you are referring to.
Of course what else is he gonna say? ‘No, I believe that market is dead? No future in it, I tells ya. Buy big, stay big!’ Yeah, I don’t think so. While he goes on to say, “Not in the near-term”, I imagine they’re working on something behind closed doors. I mean, wouldn’t you be? Michael Dell pretty much said as much.
Haha, I really wish I could help them develop their phone… I really love phones but I haven’t fallen for the iPhone yet. Having a Dell alternative to phones would be really neat :)
I don’t care who does it but I wish someone would produce a 3.5″ screen device for Verizon. As a former dell x51v owner I can certainly picture dell doing a solid job at it.
