Has anyone listened to FM radio lately? Here near NYC there are no FM stations that one can listen to for more than 5 minutes at a time. A much better feature would be to include an AM tuner. That way you would have the player to listen to music and to tune in news or talk radio, which is overwhelmingly AM. Music on FM radio is irrelevant.

When you get an mp3 player you need a jukebox that smoothly integrates with the player. There is also this issue of "affordable luxury" ... Dell just screams "cheap" and the core demographic that wants these devices is turned off by that. If they want to make something that sells, they have to attack the problem at a much deeper level than they have.

There is also this issue of “affordable luxury” … Dell just screams “cheap” and the core demographic that wants these devices is turned off by that.

If they want to make something that sells, they have to attack the problem at a much deeper level than they have.

People are used to paying reasonable prices for Dell products. For any iPod competitor of theirs to sell, it would have to be just as good as the iPod, but $75 cheaper--no wonder it didn't work out.
