Dell Quietly Leaves MP3 Market

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the going-gently dept.

An AD-Esque Sitcom writes "Dell has quietly retired from the portable player market. The Dell DJ Ditty — whose website is nothing more than an error now — was absent from Dell's catalogue, and the company was not offering any follow-up products, instead preferring to stick with PCs, printers, and not killing people in fiery laptop-related explosions. Dell will still be a third-party reseller of other MP3 players like the Creative Zen, but has left the Windows-based player market to the four big players — SanDisk, Samsung, Sony, and Creative."

    I'd say that Apple should be in that list of players who make a Windows-based portable audio device. The iPod works on Windows too.
