Reuters via NewsAlerts: Intel to make 250,000 Web gizmos for AOL deal in Spain

“The world’s biggest semiconductor company Intel Corp. will
supply 250,000 Web access devices that Spain’s biggest bank, Banco
Santander Central Hispano , is set to offer to clients with America
Online Inc. , which Intel and others hope could jump-start the
nascent industry.”

“…The Dot.Station, which is a blue color similar to the
one Intel uses in its logo, runs the Linux operating system and
uses a Mozilla Web browser. It is among several consumer-oriented
devices Intel now sells, in addition to digital cameras, an MP3
digital music player, a digital microscope and home networking
equipment.

“The deal to offer Web terminals to Banco Santander’s 10 million
customers was part of a larger partnership between AOL and the
bank. Both companies also agreed to take over a Spanish leisure
portal, rebrand it AOL Avant and offer AOL-branded services to
Banco Santanders banking clients.”
