Greg:This Dell/Amazon deal calls for co-branded home pages and I don't think they are fully ready yet, may be soon. Looks like Amazon will get an additional 25 million/quarter prospective eye-balls and Dell gets a crack at millions of Amazon customers,not too bad if you ask me. ===================== Wednesday March 10 12:00 PM ET Amazon.Com, Dell Computer To Link Web Sites ROUND ROCK, Texas (Reuters) - Online book and music retailer Amazon.com Inc. and computer direct-seller Dell Computer Corp. (Nasdaq:DELL - news) said Wednesday they would provide links from their Web sites to new co-branded home pages. The agreement joins the names of two of the fastest-growing companies in their fields. Exposure on Amazon will give Dell another outlet for its successful strategy of selling personal computers directly to customers. Round Rock, Texas-based Dell currently sells more than $14 million in products each day over the Web, which accounts for 25 percent of its business, the company said, adding that it intends to do 50 percent of its business on line by the end of 2000. Dell's Web site attracts more than 25 million visits a quarter, from which some customers may now flow onto Amazon. Seattle-based Amazon is a leader in book and music retailing on the Web, with ambitions to expand into numerous other product areas. No financial terms of the agreement between the companies were disclosed.
