Dell announced six personal technology products-ranging from feature-packed all-in-one photo printers and enhanced Axim handhelds to the tiny new Dell DJ Ditty music player-each designed to extend the capabilities of the personal computer for work and play.
The new products underscore Dell's commitment to meet the needs of diverse lifestyles. For example, the company''s newest all-in-one photo printers feature high speeds, enhanced standalone photo printing options and optional wireless capabilities. Three new Axim handhelds offer data protection with persistent storage and on-the-go entertainment features. Weighing a little more than an ounce1, the Dell DJ Ditty music player, the latest addition to Dell's Digital Jukebox lineup, holds up to 220 songs2 and supports FM radio and digital books.
In a first for Dell, consumers can also visit a Web site devoted to the Dell DJ Ditty, www.dellditty.com. There customers can find instructional "Ditty-O's " featuring "Mitch Ferrence " to help audiophiles fully experience their music player through Rhythmic Movement, the Art of Lip Sync and Air Instrumentation.
"Dell is committed to helping customers get more out of their personal computers for entertainment and productivity by offering complementary products that are easy and fun to use in and outside the home and office," said Michael Farello, vice president of electronics and accessories for Dell's consumer business.
