Dell reportedly on Android bandwagon with AT&T
Dell is reportedly planning to make an Android-based phone for AT&T’s network.
According to CrunchGear, citing a tipster, and the Wall Street Journal, citing “people briefed on the plans,” Dell is making a touch screen phone that will run on Android.
The phone will be similar to one showed off in China in August.
The larger question is whether consumers will be clamoring for a Dell phone. Will Dell be a mobile phone success?
