Dellorola Rumour Or Real Deal?

The rumour says that Dell is planing on buying Motorola. After last years $US388 million operating loss, Motorola has been visited by a whole lot of people. To heat the rumour up to a further extent (and to almost volcanic levels), Dell and Google are going to partner with android.
My opinion on the matter is this is a good thing. Motorola hasn’t really done anything exciting since the Razr came along, and even that was a overrated piece of rat poo (it was really really slow don’t you know?). If Dell and Google was to input some of their development skills and technology know-how into a new Motorola handset, we could get an iPhone and N95 (or 96) competitor.
The rumour originally came from Richard Windsor, from Nomura International (some financial services group), who has said that Motorola’s probably going to let go of its mobile arm, and stick to doing enterprise and government work. He also said that it wasn’t the hardware, but the software and the platform (the hardware wasn’t fantastic though).
It is still only speculation and no one really knows if Dell has made an offer. Will try and keep you updated if any more news comes out.
