Dell Announces New Music Player, Download Service
gotr00t writes "It appears that Dell Computer Corp. has announced that by the end of the year, they will have released their digital audio player, known in short as the 'Dell DJ.'

Ha. ha. ha. You're fucking kidding me.
Seriously, you have a really bad case of "I am the center of the market-itis". Next think you'll be telling me that NBC should drop friends and start showing tentacle rape in prime time. Get over yourself, you fucking twerp.
No, to compete with Apple you just need a rabid fanatical customer base that is content at paying higher than industry average prices for average electronic equipment. :-)
