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."

    Yes, huge improvement. Unfortunately, there are a few problems.

    • It still does not validate.
    • The CSS does validate, but it's full of warnings.
    • It is just old, 1999 HTML.
    • There remains a mix of presentational markup (try disabling CSS using something like the webdeveloper extension.
    • Still not semantic.
    • It is now completely unusable on hand-held devices.
    • Lots of glitches remain.

    I could go on, but we are not seeing a serious commitment to web standards here. Too bad they didn't follow the lead set by A List Apart.
