(InfoWorld) - Is DellÂ ready to abandon its direct sales model to boost its prospects in China? The company says no. Several Chinese media outlets recently reported Dell is in talks to buy Chinese PC maker Founder Technology Group, citing a report by a Chinese newspaper, National Business Daily. The newspaper did not name its source and appears to have removed at least one related story, published on Dec. 15, from its Web site. A Dell acquisition of Founder would leave the U.S. PC vendor with a nationwide network of retail shops in China, ending its long-standing reliance on direct sales. Sharon Zhang, a spokeswoman for Dell China, declined to comment on the acquisition reports, but said the company has no plans to change its direct sales model. "We are committed to the direct sales model in China," Zhang said. Founder executives in Beijing could not immediately be reached for comment. During 2005, Founder was the second-largest PC vendor in China with 12.3 percent of the market, according to industry analyst IDC. The company trailed Lenovo Group, which held 32.8 percent of the market, and managed to stay one step ahead of Dell, which was the largest foreign PC vendor in the country, with an 8.8 percent share of the market, IDC said. While rumors of Dell's interest circulate, Chinese media reported that at least one Chinese company is interested in Founder. The China Business News newspaper reported Monday that Haier Corp. was in talks to acquire Founder, citing an inside source at the consumer electronics and whitegoods producer based in Qingdao, northern China. Haier could not be reached for comment.

(InfoWorld) - A Chinese PC maker today introduced a low-cost PC designed for customers in rural China that can be used with a television as a display. The 998 renminbi ($129) Tian En GX-2 was developed by Sichuan Sinomanic Technology, based in the western Chinese city of Chengdu, and is being pitched as a low-cost system that can help narrow the "digital divide" between China's rural and urban areas. The GX-2 is based on a 400MHz MIPS processor from Raza Microelectronics. It runs either a version of the Linux operating system or FutureAlpha, a Chinese-developed operating system. The GX-2 has128MB of DDR (double data rate) DRAM, one USB 2.0 port, a 10/100MbpsÂ Ethernet adapter, and a 1GB SD (Secure Digital) memory card to store data. The PC, which does not include a monitor, has a VGA (video graphics array) output for computer monitors as well as a TV output. This capability could help some users save money as televisions are found in most homes across China. Software that comes bundled with the GX-2 includes an Internet browser, a Chinese-English dictionary and a calendar application for managing appointments, among others, Sinomanic said. The price of the GX-2 is roughly the same as the laptop developed by the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project, which the group recently saidÂ costs about $130. That system is expected to enter volume production during the third quarter of this year. Â
