Dell DJ (Digital Jukebox) and Dell Music Store

sounds familiar

isn't there another company offering the same?

nice buttons

Everyone is jumping on the bandwagon. That music player is such a blatant rip-off of the iPod. I really wish the iTMS for windows would hurry up and get here.

thats the iPod equivalent of Sloth from "The Goonies"

yuck

i do think there is one company that is making a product that looks very similar to that... and don't they have their own music store as well...?

What i'd like to know is how they're going to compete with the apple music store, cause a lot of PC people hate dell even more than mac people. Most PC people atleast respect apple for making a great design, they just don't not having a lot of choices. I think that the Dell store is not going to be as strong as Apple's, only because Dell number one concern is not the consumer, but small and large businesses.

The D-pod?

Size and Price point will be the key here. The Creative Nomad Zen already offers a 20GB player for less than $250, so Dell will either have to come in cheaper or smaller than that (the Zens are quite a bit bulkier than the iPods). If Dell can offer something like the rumored 15GB player, have it be the same dimensions and weight as an iPod, and sell it for something like $250, then I think they'd have a winner on their hands.

I actually like the Dell scrolly thingy and button layout. The iPod's scroll wheel is actually harder to control. It's a really unnatural motion to have to move your thumb in circles. Straight up and down is much more efficient.

i think i'd be embarrassed to so blatantly rip off another company's machine and store. at least put the screen in a different location or something. and maybe a different name for the store, rather than just changing the brand name in front of 'music store.'

Have they no shame? Seriously.

Screw em.:rolleyes:
