Default pocketnow.com Reviews the Dell DJ

http://www.pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=reviews&id=365

"Dell makes its entrance into the digital audio player arena with its Digital Jukebox, or DJ. With the option of 15 or 20 gigabytes, even the most avid of digital audio guru's will find there to be a hefty amount of capacity. Gaining an Editor's Choice award in October 2003 from CNET, the DJ certainly has gained recognition. The DJ can most closely compare to the Apple iPod, which has thus far, led the way in high-capacity digital music devices. Can the Dell DJ dethrone the iPod? Read on to find out.

Some avid pocketnow readers might be wondering why we are reviewing something unrelated to Pocket PCs. Well, we are making new strides to expand the current borders of our current coverage to anything in the mobile world, excluding Palm based hardware and software. And so begins our journey to uncharted waters..."

pocketnow.com is a Pocket PC Web site, so it's interesting to see their take on the Dell DJ. Worth a read! The one thing they don't list as a con is that you can't explore the device as a storage drive, which to me is a serious limitation. Although apparently with this software you can do exactly that. Cool! Any Dell DJ owners out there? What do you think of it? I ponder getting a device like that some days, but ultimately I realize that my "commute" from my bedroom to the office in my basement just can't justify a dedicated music player. ;-)

Although I did not list the inability to explore the device as a storage drive in the cons section, it is touched upon in the "What's Hot" section. Compared to other digital media devices around, the DJ certainly is lacking in its out-of-the-box storage capabilities.

Jason pointed to Dudebox, which allows the user better functionality of the DJ on several levels, including many useful tools. I plan on doing a write-up on this piece of software as a follow up to the review. :lol:

The DJ's slip-case similar to the Axim X3's case. Really similar.
