The oh so humble, Mr. Person Familiar with the Matter is back with knowledge that Dell has postponed its Zing-based MP3 player (http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/01/zing-based-daps-to-offer-sirius-downloading-over-wifi/)... indefinitely. This, according to the Wall Street Journal -- the very source of the original DJ Ditty rebirthing rumor (http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/30/oh-gawd-dell-releasing-zing-based-dj-ditty-in-september/). Dell will shelve the MP3 prototypes it was preparing for a possible fall launch and focus instead, on building out its Zing software (http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/dells-zing-hopes-to-rival-apple-in-ecosystem-launch-two-player/) to organize the music and movies downloaded to Dell PCs. So no DJ Ditty 2, imagine our sense of loss. A spokesman did say that Dell plans to launch another "half-dozen laptops and desktops between now and the end of the calendar year." Would that list include the Studio XPS 13 and 16 (http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/26/dell-studio-xps-13-and-16-leak-out-due-in-november/) by any chance Dell?
