Agreed Tin. There has been no concrete proof whatsover that Dell is using the Creative platform other than the basher bluster and posturing in which they invariably try to make it seem like they KNOW the real answers.

Also, FWIW, the Zen and Zen NX use Creative PlayCenter 3 PC software, not MusicMatch. And it would take some major industrial design work rather than simple rebranding to make the Zen look like the Dell JB:

Yes, this is what I was saying before.

BTW,

I'd be interested to know the source of this quote
"Dell will most likely use now-launched MusicMatch Jukebox as the Dell re-branded frontend to its own music store and its first digital music player seems to be re-branded version of Creative's portable MP3 player."

Is it a different source or just someone rephrasing Apple's statement (everybody cuts and pastes so much in the news media these days its hard to tell if alternate sources are confirming the same thing or just repeating each other).

Could be that Apple's statement is just repeating the industry speculation pointed out in the article you posted.

As far as I can see the current creative jukebox lineup doesn't have a 15gb model (although that wouldn't be too difficult for them to change), doesn't have the front facing scroll wheel, and also don't feature voice recording.
