According to reports Dell will take another shot at a digital music player to compete with the ipod.
The music player could ship as early as September, and be priced at less than $100.
Dell has applied to register Zingspot as a trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. It describes it as “an Internet consumer platform to allow users to access and purchase digital entertainment content.” The company has also registered Zingspot.com.
The player will be linked to a set of new services similar to Apple’s, including an Internet-based music download service and software that allows users to organize their music on the device.
The report also talks about Dell maybe moving in a direction of its own phone. Dell has hired several former Motorola executives, which may convince the company it has sufficient expertise in this area to enter the market.
Good one on Dell
Do you need to be a domainer to understand how bad this name is?
I guess when you can’t innovate, you recreate. In this case its re-recreate since their last MP3 player didn’t work out so well.
And a special congratulations goes to the owners of Zing.com and ZingStop.com who will see their traffic go through the roof.
