Dell trying to challenge Ipod once again

in: Media Players

dell-logo Dell trying to challenge Ipod once again

Dell first entered the music market in 2003 with a line of MP3 players that were designed by Creative and marketed under the name Dell D.J. The product was designed to compete with first generation Ipod then. It did not click and dell D.J had to exit the market in 2006.

Since then Ipod has dominated the market of mp3 and personal media players. Two years later, Dell is taking another shot to bring an mp3 player to an already saturated mp3 market, dominated by Apple and other  cheap Chinese brands.

Details of the possible player are scarce, with the exception that Dell will be marketing it for less than $100, the integration of Wi-Fi capability and a connection to a Dell music subscription service, which is likely based on technology the company acquired through the purchase of Zing systems in 2007.

Interesting Reading..
