New York Friday Sep 13, 2013 - Dell Inc Chief Executive Michael Dell said in an interview with CNBC on Friday the focus of the company, which he is taking private, will include expanding sales capacity and growing in emerging markets and tablets.

He does not foresee a Dell entry into the cell phone market.
