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.
