The Dell Pocket DJ: Dell Takes Aim at iPod MiniDell Inc. Thursday rolled out its products for the holiday shopping season, including plasma televisions, new printers and a slimmed-down digital music player aimed at the iPod mini.
The Dell Pocket DJ weighs 4.4 ounces and has a capacity of 5 gigabytes, the equivalent of approximately 2,500 songs. It has a sleeker silver and black design with trimmer features than the current Dell DJ, the Round Rock, Texas-based company said. It is smaller than a deck of cards and costs $199.
According to market research firm NPD Group, Apple has more than 90 percent of the market of digital music players that use hard disk drives as the storage medium.
Dell said its Pocket DJ will be available next month, as will its 20-gigabyte Dell DJ model holding 9,900 songs, which has a price of $249.
Dell also announced its first plasma televisions. The 42-inch high-definition and enhanced definition model has a price of $3,499. The 42-inch model without high definition and enhanced definition carries a price of $2,229.
