The traditional 20 GB DJ now offers a new interface, and the new Pocket DJ is available with 5 GB of storage. From the hardcore aficionado to the casual listener, the new DJ models offer great battery life and room for thousands of your favorite songs. At a sleek 3.5 x 2.1 x .5 inches and weighing in at a scant 4.4 ounces, the new Pocket DJ packs a punch with room for up to 2500 songs and a playback time up to 10 hours. The new DJ-20 combines massive storage, easy-to-use controls and outstanding battery performance in a significantly smaller form factor. It has room for up to 9,0002 songs and playback times in excess of 12 hours. All of this in a slim 4.0 x 2.4 x .74-inch form factor weighing in at 6.8 ounces.</i>"<br /><br /> <img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/thedjs.jpg" /> <br /><br />CNET has also posted two videos of the Dell DJ-20 and Pocket DJ in action.<br /><br /><a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/Dell_DJ_20/4535-6490_7-31149174.html?tag=top">Video of Dell DJ-20</a> @ CNET<br /><br /><a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/Dell_Pocket_DJ_5GB/4535-6490_7-31149192.html?tag=top">Video of Dell Pocket DJ</a> @ CNET

According the the video - the DJ-20 will be using the same interface that it is using now, which I think is a mistake. If they truly want to freshen the DJ, they need to retire the generic interface that is shared by several audio players. I understand that this element may be important in keeping the DJ priced low, but it takes away from its appeal.
