Review of Dell's Digital Jukebox

Posted by michael on from the dude-you're-getting-a-tiny-hard-drive dept.

bu115hit writes "Tom's Hardware has a review of Dell's Digital Jukebox. The quick summary is that Dell has provided their own version of an iPod in size and shape, and they gave it better battery life. However, it seems the iPod is still a superior product overall, for ease of use if nothing else."

    What is the point of these types of reviews? Everyone knows the Dell DJ is a piece of shit. It's like comparing... ah fuck it I wouldn't know.

    You know, overreacting aside, I find Apple's choice in regards to the iPods battery very odd.

    I look at my Sony Clie and my GBA-SP. Both have a tiny little screw that holds the battery cover on. Both my Clie and the GBA-SP are smaller than the iPod, and yet they still managed to provide user-access to the battery.

    I haven't seen the miPod up close yet, but I imagine they don't have a battery cover either.

    I think Apple just doesn't like screws.. they're definately anti-screw. Maybe it's because Apple hasn't discovered a way to make them glow yet.

    "My only wish is that the IPod Mini came in white."

    Don't you know why iPod mini colors were chosen?

    • Silver - Low risk of looking like a dork
    • Blue - Guarded risk of looking like a dork
    • Green - Elevated risk of looking like a dork
    • Gold - High risk of looking like a dork
    • Pink - Severe risk of looking like a dork

    The freedom to not own an iPod?

    That is your mistake. You put it on you arm or waist belt. That way you look more sexy.

    What we really need in the review is some objective data on whether an Apple or Dell is better at helping you pick up the evening's companion at the gym.

    virtually every USB device comes with a warning saying you should not plug it into a hub. Everything wants to be plugged directly into the CPU.
    Tried that, but the pins on the CPU were too small to fit, and the damned heatsink kept getting in the way. At least on Slashdot I would expect people to know what a computer is.

    But what about my +2 iPod of strength and my +1 Headphones of Music? Then it's a perfect 10, and it's perfect sounding assuming the minijack doesn't make it's saving throw.
