The oddly named "Ditty" is a 512MB flash based player with built-in FM tuner. As earlier rumors suggested, Dell is offering lanyard caps in a variety of colors. The Ditty apparently uses Yahoo's MusicMatch as the default content service, but I'm assuming any Windows Media based service is compatible with the device since it proudly wears Microsoft's "Plays for sure" label. <br /><br />Not bad overall. Personally, I'd take this over an iPod shuffle any day! You can find out more about the Ditty by visiting Dell's web site.
