Although we’re not firm believers that 2nd time’s the charm, we can only guess that Dell isn’t going to have too much success this time either. Why ? Because they’re main focus isn’t the digital audio market and that has shown back in 2003 as well when they had to back out. According to The Wall Street Journal, Michael Dell and co. are getting ready to test the market once again, their products being available with the start of September.

The Wall Street Journal seems to have already formed it’s opinion about Dell’s MP3 player called “The Zing” quickly pointing out the differences between The Zing and the major players in the field.

What do you think ? Success or failure ?
