Dell to Rollout iPod Challenger, says Report
Can Dell beat Apple in the iPod game? According to reports it's going to try with a Dell digital music player that could go on sale as early as September. Can Dell succeed is the question, or will it end up another Cuil to Google's, well, Google?
According to the Wall Street Journal Dell has been testing its iPod rival for several months. The plan, according the WSJ, is not only to roll out a player, but an online download service as well.
Michael Dell is cited in the WSJ report as expressing an interest in expanding Dell's consumer reach to include a "broad range of consumer markets." The Dell digital music player would be the company's second try at entering the market. In 2003 Dell introduced a line of digital music players that failed in the marketplace.
