New Dell TVs, Printers and Music Players; Product Information Sheet

Business Wire, Oct 14, 2004

Both new Dell photo printers use the Dell Supplies Management System(TM), which monitors cartridge and/or paper levels, proactively notifies customers before they run out of their supplies, and provides a direct link to Dell's Web site for easy reordering. In addition, all Dell printers come with Dell service and support, including 24x7 toll-free technical phone support and one-year Advanced Exchange Service(e).

Dell DJs

Dell tuned into music enthusiasts who like more style with their music players. The company's two new DJs, enabled by Texas Instruments' Digital Audio processors, sport a sleek silver and black design and trimmer form factors. The 4.4-ounce(f) Pocket DJ is smaller than a deck of cards but with enough storage for 2,500 songs(g). Dell also updated the interface on the 20GB(h) model for the music enthusiasts who want to load and easily play their entire music collection, or even books, on a digital music device.

DJ users can choose to download their favorite music from the many MP3 and Windows Media(R)-based download services on the Web. To simplify how customers enjoy music while protecting digital content, Dell will implement Microsoft's(R) Digital Rights Management technology, code-named Janus, and Media Transfer Protocol. The new technologies support legal downloads and secure transfer of digital music from any device or online service, and will be available on existing DJs later this year and in early 2005 on the new models introduced today. In addition, Dell will provide the firmware to upgrade DJs on www.support.dell.com at no cost, and plans to participate in Microsoft's forthcoming "Plays For Sure" campaign to help educate consumers on the compatibility of services and devices carrying the "Plays For Sure" logo.

The Pocket DJ starts at $199. The 20GB Dell DJ holds about 9,900 songs(g) for $249. Both are available next month in the United States.
