Could Palm get gobbled up by Dell?The last few dayssaw PocketPC analysts facing a flurry of rumors related to Dell reentering the smartphone market – even though the company has not confirmed or denied this, ComputerWorld reports Michael Dell making the following statement at a recent press event:


Dell said buying other companies remains an option for expansion into the smartphone market but noted that its acquisitions focus is elsewhere at present.

As analysts at various banks have frequently claimed that a Dell/Palm merger would be beneficial (the one knows about quality hardware which doesn’t break, the other knows about software), rumors are once again afloat that Dell might go wokka-wokka on Palm in the near future in a fashion similar to Acer and E-Ten.

Of course, the price of Palm will increase steadily as the company gets closer and closer to launching the Pre…which means that Dell will likely act in the next month if it will ever do so…
