Marking the entry of Hollywood in PC manufacturing, Dell and Paramount Pictures have teamed up to allow consumers to preload Iron Man into newly purchased computers. This is the only film currently being offered, and consumers will be able to purchase it for an additional $20 on the price of their newly configured Dell computers.

"The key focus here is to lead off our slow immersion into content as a major piece of the puzzle in terms of what consumers want from a PC," said Rachna Bhasin, director of content for Dell’s global consumer group.

The movie will be preinstalled on Dell’s Inspiron, Studio and XPS laptop and desktop models. Surely crippled with DRM, consumers will be able to watch it on their computers, their TVs and burn one copy to DVD. Dell hopes to increase the selection of movies in the future.

Do you know what I like about LG Phones? Its the design. LG has always thought of cool new ideas when designing their phones. Do you know what LG has thought of this time? A limited edition LG Shine Iron Man phone. The phone was created for a new campaign in partnership with Paramount Pictures and Marvel Studios.

Being a luxury edition of LG Shine (KE970), LG Iron Man is dressed in solid gold (18k). Only 100 Iron Man handsets are made, so it will be pretty difficult to get one. Aside from the expensive case, LG Iron Man brings the same basic features that LG Shine has: 2.2 inch TFT display, 2 Megapixel camera, EDGE connectivity, email, Web browsing and so on.
