Dell execs on mobiles and wireless

Dell Axim X50 Pocket PC

There've been rumors and speculation from a lot of angles about Dell's plans to get into mobile data and cellular devices, but it looks like they're trying to clear the smoke and come clean with their plans: CEO Kevin rollins has gone on record as having "no intentions or plans to go into the cellphone business," despite Mike Dell's previous claim that they would be selling phone subscriptions or have some Dell MVNO deal in the cards. Of course, their language is still a little vague and muddled, especially with all these talking heads contradicting one another, but we're hoping Dell not getting into the cell biz won't fortell Dell not getting into the cellphone biz (i.e. whipping up a PocketPC Axim cellphone, or Dellphone, as we like to call it 'round here), which would be a monumentally bad move. Thanks for all the confusion, guys!
