Dell acquires Zing Systems, re-enters mobile entertainment scene
Hardware giant Dell enters the portable entertainment scene again with its recent acquisition of technology and software startup Zing Systems.
Known for its “always connected” mobile entertainment, Zing currently provides the streaming audio technology for Sandisk Sana Connect wireless mobile mp3 player, and the Sirius Stiletto.
This acquisition is just one of the steps that Dell has taken to expand its retail catalog. “We’re looking at companies that can expand our capability to provide great product experiences,” said Frink. “We think this is a company that can provide a great technology and entertainment experience.
However, with the disappearance of the Dell DJ Ditty, Dell’s own-branded but now defunct portable media player, many are perplexed about this recent attempt. Then again, when all else fails, Dell could still continue effectively selling third party products anyway.

When I do comparison shopping, how do I find the best deal? * There are scores of models and your best advice is to look at the major vendors only such as IBM, Dell or Compaq. This makes your choice a great deal easier. Cheap laptops and the accessibility to computer repair are available everywhere but here are a few tips to help. * Make a list of all potential models of cheap laptops and their features. * Then apply the things that are the most important to you such as CD-RW/DVD, larger display, hard drive size, etc. * Look online to see what’s available in cheap laptops and computer repair and try to get your analysis done within a week or two. Then be prepared to do it again if you are going to buy immediately. * Choose a model that you like the best and choose any needed components to meet your specifications. * You’re going to end up with a list of numerous models with similar features and different models and vendors. You’ll be able to base your decision on this list * list things like included software, warranties, and lock, etc. * Calculate in shipping costs and taxes. * Shipping availability is important and most cheap laptops will take a week or two to ship, but some may not be available for a while longer. * If you’ve chosen from a retail outlet, you get the exact same information from the store’s web site.
