Round Rock (TX) - Taking its first serious steps into the flash memory device market, Dell is introducing its first flash memory MP3 player, the "DJ Ditty," capable of storing 512 Mb of songs. Weighing 1.29 ounces and selling for $99 USD, the pocket lighter-sized DJ Ditty will compete with Apple's iPod Shuffle in both price and size, and complements Dell's existing line of Dell DJ hard drive players.

**xsperf** · 09-22-2005, 07:11 PM

yea see those are cool but i would def lose it if i ever had one

anyone actually tried the dell mp3 players? they look nice, but since ipod is the main company i doubt many people actually get them

so they come out with this just in time for apple to come out with the nano. I'd still take the shuffle. Style is a key factor they need to address.

Unless i'm a total tard in my marketing class, last i checked, when you make a competing product, you're supposed to up the stakes a little bit. not graze the bar without it falling.....
