Lexar announced that they will be introducing a flash-based JumpDrive Music device in November. One of the greatest benefits of their product will be that there are no moving parts in it. I read earlier today on BlogCritics, bookofjoe has had problems with all 3 of his iPods. I posted earlier that I fancy having an iPod but after reading about the problems that bookofjoe is having, I’m not too sure. Granted, I don’t plan to be jogging with my iPod but if I were to set it down a little too hard or drop it, what then?
The players are moving into position…Dell Digital Jukebox is slated to be available today.
The Dell Digital Jukebox music player, or “Dell DJ,” and accompanying software will be available through Dell’s online music store starting Tuesday, according to the company. Dell says that the device, which comes with a capacity of either 15GB or 20GB, can play music continually for up to 16 hours.
The software, called “Dell Jukebox software powered by Musicmatch,” provides a graphical interface between a computer and the Dell DJ device, as well as access to Musicmatch Downloads, a service selling songs for 99 cents.
Dell’s 15GB MP3 player will sell for $249, while the 20GB version will sell for $329, according to the company.
This device by Dell also based on a disk drive and is therefore susceptible to damage through shock or impact. It will be nice to see a competitor for the iPod hit the scene but I think I will wait till a MP3 player on the level of an iPod comes, with no movable parts.
I would like to let the Dell Digital Jukebox a chance to be received and then I will mention how well it’s entrance was. Hopefully, someone will compare it to the iPod.
