Dell Launches Flash Music Player

desert island writes "Dell launched a new flash-memory digital music player, named DJ Ditty, to compete with the iPod Shuffle. Both devices are $99 and come equipped with 512 megabytes of memory. The biggest difference between the devices is the Ditty's 1-inch LCD display screen, which helps users navigate their music lists. In addition, the Ditty can receive FM radio and sport a rechargeable lithium polymer battery that can provide up to 14 hours of continuous play."

    That's "P Diddy".

    Diddy, formerly P. Diddy and prior to that Puff Daddy, is going by just the name Diddy now. If they didn't somehow license his name, he's going to sue the shit out of Dell. And Dell is going to get its ass handed to it in court. My only interest in this product is that it somehow might be associated with Diddy. And, after reading the technical reviews, I expect that is the only interest other people have.

    Don't worry man, he's just upset that you might think an Apple product is lacking in some way.

    I for one agree with you - even in a 1" display you can fit lots of stuff but even if it were a single song title it's orders of magnitude faster to locate a song versus listening to the starts of each song.
