Dell MP3 player plans getting canned? Hopefully?
CrunchGear —
The world has too many MP3 players - what? it does - and manufacturers need to move on rather than developing an “iPod killer” which is what Dell might be doing. According to the original rumor mill, Wall Street Journal, the MP3 player built around the entertainment software Zing is being shelved indefinitely. Maybe Dell suits came to their senses, threw in the towel, punched their time card, and finally realized no one wants a Dell MP3 player. Was that too harsh?

Dell Kills Music Player Plans, Leaves the Field Clear For Apple
Wired: Gadget Lab —
It may have been a bad idea to begin with and Dell finally seems to have realized it. The company says it has now abandoned plans to launch a digital media player tied to an online store.
Dell had planned to launch a MP3 player this year that could potentially compete with Apple's iconic iPod line and Microsoft's struggling Zune player. But the company could have done well to learn from Microsoft's experience with the Zune before it started on its venture.
With Apple's iPod and iTunes dominating the digital music landscape,
rivals including Microsoft have failed to make a dent. Released in 2006, Zune has just about 4% of the market compared ...

Primeiro, vieram informações sobre um suposto (e forte) iPod-killer da Dell; depois, a pressão aumentou, com detalhes sobre os ditos aparelhos; de repente, parece que os planos foram por água abaixo, sem nem sequer se concretizarem. A previsão era que, até o Natal, a empresa lançaria seu Portable Music Player (PMP) junto com um software de entretenimento online.
A notícia vem de uma fonte do The Wall Street Journal, que afirma que a Dell decidiu não só adiar o lançamento do produto (baseado no software da Zing Systems), mas que pode ter inclusive desistido da idéia, ...
