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 the marketing campaign Dell is using on this soon to be failure. And here it is 3 days later...spreading like wildfire I tell ya! Even their own sales reps were unaware.
    "The announcement was so low-key that a Dell UK spokeswoman was unaware of the launch."

    Correct. The P. Diddy version just plays your music while injecting the following audio:
