If at first you don't succeed, try again. And that's exactly what Dell is doing as they prepare themselves to re-enter the portable music player market despite past failures like the DJ Ditty. Word has it that this new Dell player might see the light of day as early as September, and it will come pre-laoded with software and works with an online music service. According to sources, Dell claims to have a tighter level of integration this time round, and is currently developing a range of software for portable computers that makes music and movie transfer a snap with their new device. I sure hope to see Dell succeed this time round, but it will take a great deal of marketing muscle and a solid product in addition to open minds from Joe public for things to deviate from the tried-and-tested iPod path.
