Ralph De La Vega: Dell Entering the Smartphone Market… Oops!

Rumors have been bouncing around for some time now that Dell may be entering the smartphone market. While Dell isn’t present at MWC this year, AT&T (NYSE: T) Mobility CEO Ralph De La Vega is, and during a panel at the event he let the following gem slip through his lips:

“Dell announced they’re entering the smart phone market.”

That’s exactly what he said.

Now, I realize that isn’t a quote from anyone at Dell, but when Ralph De La Vega says something, there must be some truth to it. One has to think now that AT&T and Dell have been working together or have at the very least been in discussions about a new smartphone from Dell. I’m sure we’ll get some reaction from Dell on this in the near future.
