iPoding posts an nice piece of detective work, attempting to explain which MP3 player is actually being rebranded by Dell for the Dell DJ Audio Player.
According to the pieces of the puzzle they've put together, they feel that it is most likely an e.Digital Odyssey 1000. And yes, the Odyssey does look like the upcoming Dell DJ.
Here are the features... of the Odyssey:
20 GB hard drive holds up to 500 CD’s worth of music
High-speed download (Up to 8 MB per second with USB 2.0*)
MP3 & Windows Media™ music file playback
VoiceNav – Just Say It to Play It!
Anti-skip Protection - Up to 8 minutes
FM tuner w/ 12 Available station presets
Rechargeable, replaceable Li-Ion battery plays up to 12 hours
Easy-to-use scroll wheel
Digital voice recorder
Built-in mic for recording lectures, meetings
Be your own DJ with playlists
Normal, shuffle, repeat & intro play modes
Large, Blue-Green backlit LCD
Programmable equalizer
Retail Price: $349
The microphone and voice recording would be a nice touch, if the Dell DJ also comes with these features. WMA/MP3 Support is no surprise.
Also noted by an anonymous tip to iPoding is that the Dell DJ "is only a little bit thicker than the 1st gen iPod, and wider and taller by a few mm."
