America Online has entered into a deal with Sony to outfit its VAIO computers with a co-branded home page, which will be the default home page for all VAIO consumer PCs manufactured this year. The
VAIO 2006 spring line will include the AOL Explorer browser, the AOL Instant Messenger service, AOL Search, and other AOL products. Earlier this month, Dell partnered with Google for a similar
co-brand default home page initiative.
