Rumors that Dell is poised to leap into the cellphone market and oust all rivals with a clutch of low-cost smartphones for the everyman come up pretty regularly; however, while analysts and “industry sources” say one thing, Dell always maintains it has no plans to add mobiles to its range. At the company’s analyst meeting today Alex Grunzen, senior VP of Dell’s consumer product group, refused to comment on the ongoing speculation, only going so far as to confirm that Dell’s work with mobile wireless carriers in their PC business had “created enormous opportunities”.
“At the end of the day, we are about connecting customers, whether it’s at their business or their home” Alex Grunzen, senior VP of Dell consumer product group
According to Grunzen, Dell has ”room to be a bit more experimental” with products after a number of unspecified obstacles had been cleared from their consumer business.
