Well what’s this? Dell is working on a gadget that will be comprable to Apple’s iPod Touch…and it’s going to run Android? This is kind of interesting. According to cnet.com:

The device is considered part of a new category of gadgets called mobile Internet devices, or MIDs, which are designed to fit into the market between a mobile phone and a laptop or Netbook computer.

The device could go on sale as early as the second half of 2009, according to the Wall Street Journal’s sources.

Dell supposedly started working on the new device about a year ago as a way to compete against Apple’s iPod business. The Journal also cited an unnamed source who said that Dell has considered selling the new Internet device through a cell phone carrier. Dell and other computer makers such as Hewlett-Packard already sell their Netbooks through cell phone operators

Earlier this year, there was also a rumor that Dell was working on a smartphone, and also testing Android for use as the operating system on their netbooks.
