According to a WSJ report, Dell may be preparing to move into the mobile phone business; as soon as next month.
The report says a group of engineers have been working on a phone based on the Android operating system for over a year now, and on a phone based on Windows Mobile for over six months.
Dell will be focusing on the increasingly crowded smartphone market, currently led by Apple, RIM and Palm and their two devices will likely be a touchscreen phone and one with a slide out QWERTY keyboard.
A Dell spokesperson added "We haven't committed to anything," and can still drop all plans for the phone.
Michael Dell, CEO of the company, has been rumored to be interested in creating smartphones since at least last year but so far nothing has come of the efforts.
