Dell is Moving

Out of all its manufacturing facilities.

The WSJ and Bloomerg are reporting that Dell is and has been in talks to sell all its manufacturing facilities. The trend to outsource the manufacturing of technology hardware has long been in place, but Dell has partly resisted. I thoughts they viewed manufacturing and the logistics around it as a core competence.

Apparently a broadening product line and the fact that they are now selling through retail prompted to move. They might be right.
