Dell loading Iron Man on PCs
Dell has started selling computers preloaded with this summer’s blockbuster, Iron Man, the first in what it expects to turn into a broad array of movie offerings for customers.
The company said it eventually will offer a range of movies from Paramount Pictures, including the Marvel Entertainment films the studio now is distributing. Customers currently can order a special, digital edition of Iron Man for $20 here. (Loading the page was a hit-and-miss affair this morning.)
“It’s another way customers can customize their PCs,” said spokeswoman Anne Camden.
Dell eventually expects to offer a range of content, including movies, music and other products, that customers can order with their PCs or download through its online sites. Many of the post-sale downloads ultimately will run through Zing, a small Silicon Valley firm the company acquired in August 2007.

Jeez, Jane, those of us who have watched this company flounder the last several years realize this is just Michael Dell’s latest “all hat, no cattle” move.
