Dell scraps plans for new MP3 player in a fit of sanity?
Engadget —
... rebirthing rumor. Dell will shelve the MP3 prototypes it was preparing for a possible fall launch and focus instead, on building out its Zing software to organize the music and movies downloaded to Dell PCs.

Gizmodo —
... but now it looks like those plans have been canned. According to the Wall St Journal Dell had been as close as this Autumn to making at least one Zing-device, but the prototypes are being "indefinitely" shelved.

T3.com All —

Recently-revamped ranges of iPods and Zunes probably don't help either, or indeed, a weak economy. The company has so far declined to comment on the player, but Dell is promising 'sexy' new products for the latter part of this year and the early part of next. 'Sexy' and 'Dell' - two words we thought would never appear in the same sentence. Dell (via Electronista ) Related links: [image]
