Dell could enter portable gaming market Global gaming chief Abizar Vakharia from Dell has dropped the ball that Dell could possibly be looking towards a gaming handheld in the future, although there are no concrete plans to do so yet. This means even more competition on the handheld front, and would Dell opt for the UMPC route to keep gamers hooked, or will they go to the extreme portable market which currently involves a two-horse race? Chances are the final product will be the former, as it would make more sense for Dell to use its close ties with Intel and Microsoft as leverage instead of working on a portable gaming device from ground up to compete with the Nintendo DS Lite and Sony PSP.
