    Dell taking on iPod; consumer electronics...

    Well guys, dell is set to take on Apple for the digital music market, as well as the market for LCD tvs, and introducing a new and improved handheld.

    Link

    New Dell Digital Music Players
    The Dell DJ and the Dell Digital Music Store work seamlessly together, allowing you to purchase and download from thousands of songs while carrying your music library in your pocket.

    New Dell Axim X3
    Get organized and stay productive with the latest addition to the Dell Axim family, featuring optional wireless connectivity.






    We are also introducing Media Center PCs and our new LCD tvs...



    Anyway, the dell dj prices aren't finalized yet, but are WELL below apple's comprable models. Dell is also opening up a new digital music store, similar to iTunes. Sorry, monolith, but we want to put apple out of business ( or atleast out of this business )

    Well if you guys decide you need any of these products for christmas, i'd be more than happy to help you out!!!

      Imitation is....

      looks like Apple will have to lower the costs of the ipod.

      In other news the iTunes Music Store for Windows will launch on October 16th (next week) according to ZDNet. Now if the idiots on all sides can agree to sharing file formats the whole industry might actually work.

        Do you have pricing and resolution on your home theater video projector?
        I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

          Agathon, if apple can't make it work, i'm sure dell can. Our side of things is set to launch about the same time.

            So what should I get, what should I get, a PDA, or a Laptop...

            In any case, is there any sort of such device that I could use in the same way people currently use notebooks, i.e. write on it with a pen, so it would be saved that way?

              tablet pcs work like that, but they are expensive and of limited use. The dell pocket PCs are great, but by the time you get all the accessories (keyboard, wireless card, etc...) you are spending a fair amount of money. If i were you i'd wait until the end of the month (prices are going to go down a bit because it is the end of the quarter) and get a notebook. Keep an eye on the webpage, and figure out exactly what you want, and i'll help you get the best possible price. the inspiron 5100 is probably the best value for your money right now...

                  Kaak how much does the New Dell Digital Music Player go for? If the price is right then I'm serious about buying one plus I already have a line of credit with Dell.

                      That's not what I meant. The iTMS alone shows that it works. The problem is getting all services to use the same file formats and allowing maximum interoperability so as to create a proper online music market instead of making users stick with only one service.

                      Apple uses AAC, the other services use WMA 9. It's incumbent on Apple to allow other manufacturers to incorporate AAC compatibility into their players and to incorporate WMA 9 into their ipod. That should allow the market to work properly without tying users into one format or the other.

                      Similarly the other services should make sure that their music will play alongside that of other services without any headaches.

                          Yeah, does the new Dell music system allow me to use any music format or only Dell's music format?

                              I don't know. I certainly hope not.

                              Anyway, here's hoping Apple gives Windows users the full version of itunes with all the mac features. It's a really great app.
