Remember the DJ Ditty? It’s OK: not many people do. The DJ Ditty line was Dell’s early effort to kill the iPod by offering its own portable music player. Most people know how that worked out: here and there, you’ll still find a couple people who have heard about the iPod, but Dell discontinued the DJ Ditty line in mid-2006. When Dell acquired Zing Systems back in August 2007, speculation began that Dell might re-enter the personal media player market…although, to date, all the company has managed to do is offer to pre-load selected CinemaNow movies on new computers. However, Zing does provide the systems underlying some SanDisk media players and the Sirius Stiletto.
