Is this for real?
If so, wow. Just wow.

Dell launches ‘iPod shuffle killer’ DJ Ditty – September 20, 2005
Dismissive Dell CEO not impressed with Apple Mac mini, calls iPod a ‘one-product wonder’ and a ‘fad’ – January 17, 2005
But y’know its pretty funny. I would never in a million years buy that crappy player, but the ad campaign is pretty hilarious. Give them credit for a totally different take anyway….
now watch the video called:
“RockstarMig” — I think the guy in it a real artist!?
check it out and let us all know.
OMG just horrible.
Jeez… what is that advertising…???? From which planet is that designer coming from??? “sync like a SEMIprofessional”…. they can’t be serious
WOW! And they fired the Dell dude for doin’ drugs?
Wow. That was quite possibly the worst thing I’ve ever seen, and I used to be a local TV producer (which means I had to take part in many,many bad commercials. Many.)
I’m sure those commercials will pay for themselves in no time. Ha ha ha ha ha!
Either dellditty.com is a scam, or Dell needs to apologize to their shareholders and give them their money back.
Personally, my money is with the scam. Dell isn’t THAT dumb!
Damn…just watched some of the clips…it’s Jason Priestly in 20 years!!!!

Ironically, one of the songs used says,”Never gonna get it, never gonna get it…”
I can’t see nuthin’ besides a giant starburst.
Did they pull it?
Doo wah ditty ditty dum ditty doo
mw: few, as in only a few gonna be sold
“HuskerMac
You never know, they may sell a bunch of these. I like the idea of a screen on the device, unlike the Shuffle.”
Wrong. A 26x11mm LCD screen is totally worthless. Just wastes battery life.
I was thinking that this has to be a hoax.
They have Walter Sobchek hawking the DJ $hitty!

This looks like a gag from the guys who do CrazyAppleRumors.com
I think you guys are missing the point. They can NOT compete with the ipod for the cool factor — so they take the piss, make a joke about it, go ironic. I think it is really clever and probably the only way out. The product looks like shit, but they know there is a large group of non ipod lovers… It’s a clever move out of desperation
michael dell…. is this all youve got meat head??
didnt u say something about the ipod just being a fad? why would u bother even trying to copy a fad?
hmmmmm.
OMG what a train-wreck … I guess you have to grant them point for having the courage to follow such a horrible concept to it’s logical end. Everything about the video’s is repulsive, especially the fat turd who is trying to be “ironic” but really just comes across as an annoying …. fat turd.
I do supposed Dell is tyring to be “anti-apple” but could they make an unappealing product any more unappealing if they tried?
And whats up with the 64kbps 220 song storage claim? Do they think their customers are all as stupid and deluded as the fat dance instructor they’re trying to parody?
“The Dell Ditty. Why get an iPod when You Can be a Total Retard?”
Wow…I’ve had spam that looks very close to that!
Neat idea!
People can decide to disregard it before they bother to read it!
Oh my gosh…
The 70’s called, they want their website back…
Quoting capacity based on 64 kbps wma, is based on the desire to simulate the rustic sound of classic AM radio, LP needle scratch, and 8-track tape hiss. Groovy.
Didn’t one of those asian MP3 player companies, like Rio or Creative, have a similar series of strange ads for their players on their website? Anyone remember?
“….Holy crap! Easily the most annoying thing I’ve ever seen…..”
i’d say equally as annoying as this….
http://hem.bredband.net/turbo2/the_annoying_thing_320x256.mpg
on top of the asinine advertising, dell’s gunning for the least popular iPod model. whoop-dee-doo.
this is just sad
“Become an emotional puppeteer of the face…”
WTF?
MDN = total, ie Dell DJ Ditty is a total:
-piece of cr@p
-waste of time
-heap of junk
To quote the father in “Everybody Loves Raymond”
“Holly Crap”
This might appeal to those looking for a Dell Dildo though.
MW – “Red” as in the color of the balance sheet on that product.
