    It'll be interesting to see how Dell, Ingram Micro and Tech Data's shares are faring in next week's sharewatch.

    Hasn't the argument that they remain an internet seller only been undermined by their partnership with the DSGi group in the UK?

    Though I suppose that could be considered that DSGi is doing the selling, rather than Dell outsourcing the distribution side. Gotta say though, I thought it would be one of the ways they were missing out on competing with the likes of Acer, as many shops don't have a dell next to the competition...

    Well, yes and no, because they've been selling direct to retailers, rather than through disties, is the gist of the story, I believe.

    Well the thought I had was that as a result of the partnership with DSGi, it was almost inevitable that they would go the distributor route, due to the inability to compete against the likes of acer in the physical retailers?
