Dell DJ Ditty goes the way of all the world

Who didn't see this coming...

But because the Dell device used an audio format that compresses digital music files more efficiently, Dell asserted it could hold up to 220 songs -- 100 more than the Shuffle. The 512 megabyte Shuffle now retails for $69, with a one gigabyte model for $99.

That annoys me so much, I can't even think of what to type in response to it.

No need to say anything really - the thing is dead now anyway.

Definitely on the way to a rendezvous with the Dell DJ Jukebox.

I noticed that Target's advertisement this week had a new Samsung player about the size of a shuffle.

It doesn't seem a great deal, though.

You should do a google/YouTube search for the video ads for the ditty. Those are really bad. I cringed watching them in our Uni's Professional Practices Design class.

To Michael Dell...

My thoughts exactly!

Another one bites the dust...but look out, now here comes Zune. And unlike Dell, M$ has the money and market power to keep pushing its schlockware until it gets some traction.

We will see what happens, but I have a feeling that Zune may very well follow in the footsteps of the Dell DJ Ditty (hopefully anyway).

Wow, that ad was beyond t-e-r-r-i-b-l-e!

My 11 year-old sister could probably do better than that with the Windows Movie Maker.

And to think that they probably paid a "professional" to make that ad.

 

[wmmk]

that ad really gives amateur filmakers a bad name!
wait, 'scuse me? that was real?

:shakes head and weeps because people have become so stupid:

 

[bousozoku]

And to think that they probably paid a "professional" to make that ad.

That person probably used Windows Movie Maker or the Sony product.

I thought it was great .

Who wouldn't want an amazingly awesome FM Tuner?





...that guy had a terrible farmer's tan, btw...

You mean they paid someone who had never made a movie before to use Windows Movie Maker or the Sony product for them.

And he was not even a farmer....

Yes, I bet they even paid nearly $500 + a free a DJ Ditty.

A wicked awesome compensation package that has a street value of just slightly less than $500!
