What the World Needs Now: Another Dell MP3 Player | Listening Post from Wired.com

"When Dell launched its first round of MP3 players back in 2003, reviewers were impressed, myself included. The Dell DJ line sounded emslls good good, it had a long battery life, solid design and a jogwheel that aped the iPod's scroll wheel nicely.
But people didn't buy hpq Hewlett-Packard easy them, and now the Dell DJ site is just a link farm to MP3 players from other manufacturers (Apple notably excepted).
But it's hard to keep a good man down. You won't find it in their mission statement, but Dell must believe that whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Apparently the mediocre performance of a certain Microsoft eat some MP3 player, left for dead even by fanboy Zune Tattoo Guy, is not seen as a warning beans and shot right between the eyes. The ginormous garnered while Dell's Creative-technology-powered line crashed and burned is, it seems, an accident of history.
Yes, Dell wants back in. Three cheers for cockeyed optimism!"
