Dell & Andoid partnership or is it more like Tim & Andy?
I just read about the rumor that Dell is going to announce a mobile phone powered by Google’s Android.
Sure enough TechMeme has it covered already.
It looks like it’s still just a rumor but it wouldn’t surprise me. Last year Dell acquired my friend Tim Bucher’s company Zing. Tim was formerly VP Engineering at Apple and was the VP engineering at WebTV and Microsoft and has tremendous skills building fantastic cosumer products.
And my friend Andy Rubin who started Android which Google acquired was also with me and Tim at WebTV.
So I wonder if Tim & Andy have something up their sleeves.
I hope so.
