Dell exits MP3 player market

Jump to:

The following comments relate to this news article:

Dell appears to have exited the MP3 player market by completely removing all references to the DJ Ditty player from the company's catalog. Dell entered the market in 2003. In February the company cut its line of HDD-based MP3 players but continued to manufacture and sell the flash-based Dj Ditty.

Dell has been crap for a long time know so it's nice to see them get beat up even when it's not their fault like with their Sony notebooks that they put their name on. You best bet for computers is to get a custom made one where you get the OS on a disk that you can use to recover down the line and get QUALITY parts instead of the PC Chips approach that Dell and some others take.

Who cares about iPod's if you were smart you would buy Archos (one of the first players), Creative, or now SanDisk but I would beware of SanDisk at first since they are new to market and probably haven't gotten all the bugs out of their product.

Bottom line: Don't just buy something because JoeBlow did check things out try stuff before buying.

well, i've known for a long time Dell pcs and customer service is crap, BUT, I had a Dell DJ after reading extensive reviews (this is when the Creative first started making their first mp3 player which was pricey and bulky and quickly replaced.) anyway, I got a 20GB DJ and I still have it. That thing has been dropped so many times and still works. They made a quality mp3 player.
i've been looking at the Cowon X5.
Go Christmas.

I never understood the fascination with everything Ipod. There are so many other quality mp3/pmeg players for much less. I have been using an Archos 320 for over two years now and it's still going strong. Like most companies Dell expanded into a market way too late to make difference. Unless Dell (or any one else for that matter) could sell there mp3 players at much reduced prices there were doomed from the start.

And why is Microsoft coming out with an mp3 player???
