Dell consumer products VP hints at a smartphone

At that point we’re not certain why Dell won’t just come out and say it’s working on a smartphone, but for whatever reason the company’s executives keep hinting around it. Case in point: Dell consumer division VP Ron Garriques, who told analysts yesterday that the company would “work with the top three to four” carriers “and see what their needs are.” That’s only slightly more concrete that what we’ve been hearing Michael Dell say for a while now, but apparently Ron got a little more specific: reports from the event plus say he indicated that plans are being drawn up to launch products in the US, Asia, and Europe. We’d love a full transcript to figure out precisely what went down, but remember that Mr. Garriques here is the ex-head of Motorola’s mobile devices unit, so he’s got some experience cranking out handsets for every market. Just a note, though, Ron: whether you ever pull an Adamo on us and reveal a product without specs, you are so not invited to sit at our table for lunch anymore.
