LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -- Dell Inc. plans to launch a smartphone with Google's Android mobile software on carrier AT&T's network as soon as in early 2010, the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.

That would mark Dell's first foray into the booming and competitive U.S. smartphone market, now fought over by the likes of Apple and Research in Motion.

The Wall Street Journal, citing people briefed on the matter, reported that Dell's phone would come with a touch-screen and a camera. AT&T (T, Fortune 500) and Google (GOOG, Fortune 500) were not immediately available for comment. Dell declined comment. To top of page
