Google’s forthcoming Android mobile OS has been romantically involved with more handset manufacturers than Kate Moss has with rock n roll musicians. Which is why we are greeting the rumor that Dell is set to partner with Google to launch an Android focused handset with a raised eyebrow and a non-committal shrug.
The device would essentially amount to a Gphone, something that could potentially alienate other manufacturers, which is a move that Google can ill afford given its software is as of yet unproven.
That isn’t to say it’s completely impossible; Dell has been pretty vocal about its step into the mobile space. Even so, despite apparently coming from “senior industry sources” this, as far as we are concerned, is more a juicy rumour than a potential iPhone killer. We should know for sure by next month when the handset is supposedly set for a grand unveiling. Who’s that in the back holding their breath…
