Khidr Suleman reporting on Michael Dell speaking at Dell World:
We are very aligned with Microsoft around Windows 8. You’ll hear more about Windows 8 from us and see a wide range of products released,” Dell told journalists during a Q&A at Dell World 2011 in Texas.
“Android is certainly another opportunity as well, but that market has not developed to the expectations they would have had.”
Wait, there’s actually a Dell World?
Dell World is like Macworld with a learning disability.
I thought that Dell’s comment was very funny. Android doesn’t seem to be disappointing HTC or Samsung or Amazon. I think what he should have said is that “Our crappy devices that happen to run Android” are disappointing. For their sake, I hope their “crappy devices that run Windows 8” will do a little better.
I heard that the company that made the banners for the event messed up and called it Dull World. They were lucky, nobody noticed. ;^)
Wait, there’s actually a Dell World?
Yeah, although in practice it’s more like “Elmo’s World” from Sesame Street, where they have a lot of imaginary stuff and draw with crayons and damn near everything.
And it has annoying hosts.
