Sazar, I had never seen the new Pocket DJ's (except for pictures) until today.

Went to the mall this evening to buy some stuff and noticed a Dell kiosk there. One of those big LCD TV's caught my eye, so I went to look and saw the Pocket DJ there too. Man, these things are seriously underrated! It's was a wonderful little thing...and *really* tiny, as you said.

I just picked it up, turned it on and started using it. The menu system was really easy to figure out, and I actually liked the barrel-wheel control (never thought it would be so convenient). I can't say anything about ease of connectivity and sync'ing etc, but man, this thing really needs to be marketed better (get some ads and billboards up there, Dell!). It's priced way below the competition, and it's a really slick device.

I saw the Pocket DJ as well and was pleasantly surprised. The user interface is certainly quite good. I would have liked more storage space though, but that is a different thing alltogether.

I don't know what software they give you with it. What i am worried about is buying the Pocket DJ, and it not working with my Mac.

Sazar! Post your review quick.

**Grandmaster** · January 18th, 2005

~bk maybe you should look into the Dell DJ too...

**~bk** · January 18th, 2005

Yah, I should. That's why I'm waiting for Sazar's review.

**NetRyder** · January 19th, 2005

The pictures on Dell's site make it look much bigger than it really is.

they don't really do it justice.

**~bk** · January 19th, 2005

Did they change the shape and color of the Pocket DJ? Because the last time I saw, it's edges were curved and was white?

**X-Istence** · January 19th, 2005

Dun know, all i know is the black colored one.

**~bk** · January 19th, 2005

From Google, guess it's the old one:

From Dell's site:

**NetRyder** · January 19th, 2005

Yeah, the new ones look a lot nicer, and they're smaller than the last generation ones too (both the DJ and the Pocket DJ).

Thread split off from the iPod Shuffle one

**NetRyder** · January 19th, 2005

...and until Sazar posts his review, these pics should give you a better idea of the actual size and what it really looks like (pictures aren't mine).

The first pic shows the PocketDJ (5GB) and the DJ (20GB) side by side, for size comparison.

**Sazar** · January 19th, 2005

reviews are on the backburner...

coupla deadlines and stuff so am a little busy

**Electronic Punk** · January 20th, 2005

yeah, didn't think I saw you mention a review

**Admiral Michael** · January 20th, 2005

Hmm, looks like a great product.

I have one question tho, what kind of software is used to transfer songs?

Im curious cause I have an old 64MB RCA Kazoo and I need Musicmatch and I hate having to install it since I use Winamp.

different reviews here: http://www.delldjsite.com/reviews/sh...php/product/41

one guy says he has it working fine under linux

**~bk** · January 20th, 2005

Thanks for the pics NetRyder. That thing looks nice!!

Wish they sold it here. Or else I'll have to order from their site.

**Sazar** · January 20th, 2005

software I use is straightup wmp10...

it organises things nicely into albums and you can create your own playlists...

**NetRyder** · January 20th, 2005

From what I've heard it syncs with WMP10 or MusicMatch. I did see some people say that they use it with Linux though, so I'm not sure what software they use.
