Where is the reference?

"According to reports, Google is currently working with Dell to create the first Android mobile phone, bringing back the rumors that the Gphone is on the way."

The 'partnered with Dell' link above points to a blog which contains absolutely no real information at all. No references or even a source.

It's as silly as me saying "according to reports, BroadbandReports.com is currently working with AT&T to bring free high speed internet to Maine".

 Dell/Google deal could be true; just not exclusive

Just because Google might do a deal with Dell for an Android phone doesn't mean it is an EXCLUSIVE deal. So those who think it unlikely based on some exclusive contract could be wrong.

But the 1st link to the story above does have a link to another source that isn't a blog:

True, but "senior industry sources" is not much better...although at least they don't sound like they are making it up, and are a legitimate trade rag who might actually have senior industry sources.

Just getting a bit weary of the self-appointed editors and the information vacuum they create. Thanks for the opportunity to vent, T.

I think that is the most likely truth. Would make sense for Dell to bring out a phone on this platform, and somehow I doubt google is going to go exclusive, it really does not fit there style.

Re: Where is the reference?

Engagdets says this, "Stick this one firmly in the rumor category, since all the verbiage that's been thrown around about this story still traces back to one single source: a slightly ill-informed article done up in MarketingWeek in the UK."
I don't think this one is bloody likely.

Not to mention Dell doesn't actually make anything. They assemble pre-fabs. Dell might be branding and selling the phone with Google.

Dell would be a good distributor channel though, with all of their business accounts especially.
