Dell Announces Music-Player Replacement, Recycling Offer; Customer Choice, Value Center Stage in a New Dell DJ Offer

Thanks Eddis. Dell PR: "It'll be a bright summer for digital music fans tired of fading batteries. In 'A Deal that Rocks,' Dell is offering 15 Gigabyte (GB) Dell Digital Jukebox (DJ) music players for $99 after mail-in rebate to customers who send in an iPod for recycling for a limited time. Customers can also get free DJ shipping, 25 free Musicmatch downloads and a copy of Microsoft Plus! Digital Media Edition and Windows Media Player 9, for a limited time. The Dell DJ has up to 20 hours of battery life before needing a charge, about two times that of the iPod. DJ users also can choose to download their favorite music from the many MP3 and Windows Media-based download services on the Web. With A Deal that Rocks, music fans simply buy a 15GB DJ at its regular price of $199, download a $100 mail-in rebate form, and send in their completed mail-in rebate form with the discarded iPod to be recycled."

Interesting offer, though I don't expect many people to take them up on it. Still, I do have a semi-useless 5 GB iPod sitting around doing nothing...
