I've been hunting around looking at MP3 players. Since I have the Yahoo Music Unlimited I figured I should prolly get a player so I can use the To-Go features of it. Anywho, I've got my eye set on this really high-end one, the Creative Zen Vision 30GB. Problem is it sells for $375-399... not exactly in my price range at the moment.
However, while doing all my research, I got the usual email from Dell about the latest specials. So I hopped over to the Dell website and just thought I'd browse around and see what they have the Zen Vision selling for. While I was there, I noticed the Dell DJ Ditty had be drastically slashed in price... from $80 down to $39!! I figured, what the hell... it will be a good starter one until I can afford the Zen. So I got it... and after I plopped on a 1 yr warranty (it only came with a 90-day, how cheap) it came just $53. Not bad. Of course it's features are VERY limited, and only has 512mb of flash storage, but at least it's something to start from. :)
I think Dell might be trying to get rid of the DJ Ditties actually. A few months ago they dropped the Dell DJ 20GB and DJ 30GB from their website, and the Pocket DJ 5GB went by the wayside a while back, leaving the DJ Ditty as the only Dell-brand MP3 player available. They are probably trying to get out of the MP3 biz altogether. I notice they added the full line of the Creative MP3 players to the site now so I'm betting it's only a matter of time before the Ditty goes bye bye.
