Dell exits the MP3 player market
Last of its flash-based players disappears
24 August 2006 15:33 GMT / By Amber Maitland
Dell’s last portable MP3 player has quietly been retired, as the company bows out of the portable player market.
The Dell DJ Ditty webpage is now just an error; the device had been absent from the latest Dell catalogue as well.
Dell won’t offer a follow-up product, preferring to concentrate on core areas like PCs and printers, but it will still be a third-party reseller for other MP3 players like Creative Zen.
The company’s line of MP3 players was launched in 2003, but never really took a significant part of the market.
It announced in February that it was discontinuing its hard-drive-based MP3 players, and now its flash-based device has also been binned.
Dell’s departure leaves four major Windows-based player manufacturers: SanDisk, Creative, Samsung, and Sony.
