Dell iPhone rival a possibility
By Jim Finkle, Reuters,
Dell will eventually produce a device designed to compete with Apple’s iPhone, Dell’s chief executive Michael Dell has revealed. However, he admitted that that this would not be happening any time soon.
"I think you will see us with small screen devices," Dell said on Wednesday at an investment conference in New York, when asked if his company was developing smart phones such as Apple's iPhone, which blends the functions of a mobile phone with those of a personal computer.
"You'll see us with smaller and smaller devices that have capabilities of the devices you are referring to. Not in the near-term," he added.
Dell spoke at the Citi Technology Conference in New York.
