A few week ago weran a rumorthat Dell was exploit on a fresh PMP - no biggie , really . Are people really taste to top the iPod at this point ? ButBusiness Weekhas bring out more of the floor from “ multiple beginning . ” Apparently Dell ’s maneuvering is n’t about ironware at all ( or that much , at least ) . It ’s about their iTunes - similar software from recently grow companyZing . And at this import , Dell has 120 engineers fill in an iTunes competitor that has one affair on its side : Everyone . Because apparently , Dell stand for to share their platform , allowing multiple inspection and repair and equipment to employ it . So if you download euphony from Amazon , that ’s fine . And if you want to put that euphony on your cellphone , alright . DRM will still be an issue , of course , but otherwise their chopine does n’t care - according to Business Week , Dell just require an subject market where everyone who ’s not named after a yield can get a piece of the action . Look for the Zing software program to be on low - price notebooks as early as September , with more devices to follow soon . The interrogation that still seems unreciprocated , at least in our interpretation , is whether or not Dell will be distributing this “ open ” software to product beyond Dell microcomputer . And that ’s a central point if they even want to consider challenging the self-aggrandising music distribution system in the world today . [ BusinessWeek ]
