    Remember Dell's DJ Jitty that they later removed from their lineup due to poor sales? Well, they have acquired a company called Zing, and am planning for another go in designing a new Portable Music Player. Wonder how well this is going to work, though for now I'll stick to my iPod.

    Lol, I wondered if Dell would get into the MP3 player market again just yesterday when I saw my dad's old Dell 20GB MP3 player.

    Whatever's in the hand of this picture is horribly ugly. I have faith in Dell to redesign the player. Right now it looks like a cheap MP3 player sold in some Chinese marketplace.

    Yeah, that's ugly both in design and GUI. Hopefully they didn't pay much for Zing.
