Dell Computer Corp. plans to enter the market for digital projectors, the No. 1 personal computer maker's founder and chief executive said on Tuesday.
The Round Rock, Texas-based company needs to find opportunities as technology changes, as it did with its switching business, Michael Dell said at an industry conference in Chicago.
Dell did not elaborate on his company's strategy for moving into the digital projector business, but said details will be provided at the official announcement next month.
Hewlett-Packard Co. said on Monday it was entering the portable digital projector market with two new products targeted at mobile users.
HP, which plans to merge with No. 2 personal computer maker Compaq Computer Corp. in what would be the largest technology deal ever, said both its products are scheduled to go on sale April 15, with base prices ranging from about $2,500 to $3,700.
The completion of the HP-Compaq deal is awaiting a final shareholder tally.
