Unlikely rumours see Android handset coming soon


31 January 2008 12:07 GMT / By Amy-Mae Elliott

Marketing Week reports that "speculation is mounting that Google is plotting the launch of a mobile phone in partnership with computer giant Dell".

Citing "senior industry sources" the site says that the two companies are due to reveal their plans to the world at next month's 3GSM event in Spain.

The first handsets are expected this year running Google's "Android" mobile phone operating system, but Dell has not previously been hotly tipped to be one of the first manufacturers to market.

Pocket-lint will be attending 3GSM and will bring you all the news from the event as it happens.

UPDATE: Dell has officially denied claims it is to launch a gPhone, and is in fact not planning to attend 3GSM.
