CrunchGear: The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Dell “has been testing a digital music player that could go on sale as early as September.”
The music player will apparently feature a Wi-Fi connection and a “small navigation screen” which seems to indicate a touchscreen.
Dell is big, and these days it’s as much about the hardware as it is about the content deals you’re able to strike. Picture this, a Dell MP3 player with Wi-Fi connection directly into, say, Napster or Rhapsody, allowing you to download as much music as you want.
Alas, it seems that “Dell is working on software for a range of portable PCs that will let users download and organize music and movies from various online sources” which looks and sounds great on paper but might turn out to be a logistical nightmare in real life.
