It has arrived a week early. Wohoo!

The Dell Pocket DJ came in a normal box, nothing fancy like iPod Mini or Zen Micro. I took it out and charged for 2.5 hours as it stated in the User's Guide. After it was fully charged, I noticed that it had some sample music but I didn't give a damn about them. :p Well, I went to the Dell DJ Explorer and removed them and added all of my music collection and started listening to it. Currently, I'm just using 600MB so I still have a lot of space. You can also use Windows Media Player 10 or MusicMatch Jukebox to transfer songs.

The EQ settings are awesome in it! There is also a date/time feature. The headphones are not that bad either. I heard some mixed reactions about them that's why I was considering to buy new ones. All I need now is a case so I can protect it. (edit: got it)

Anyways, I suck at writing reviews. :p They are short but to the point I guess. All I can say that this is exactly what I was looking for. I'm am completely satisfied with Dell Pocket DJ. :) Below are some pictures that I took of the DJ.

Looks real cool man. I just bought myself a Zen Micro, should arrive Wednesday, can't wait! How many gb does that thing have and how much was it?

It's 5GB, and much cheaper than most other microHDD players. They are actually Creative Players with Dell name on it.

how well does it fit in your pocket? How well the iPod fit in my pocket without noticing, and being really easy to control while in my pocket was the deciding factor for me.

hehe, 1 more edit: you added all of your music collection and it only took up 600MB? Maybe you should have gotten a 1GB player...

my cousin just bought it... She has been regretting buying it... Hope it works out for you

Why is that?

Well I'm trying to get more music collection. :D Fits easily in my pocket too and I can control it, using the wheel-barrow button. No problem at all.

I have the first gen.  Got it for 100$ (15gb) new from dell.

God, I LOVE this baby.  Its awesome...has good battery life, great quality.

Sweet! :D

Darn, I want one. Crappy Dell Axim X30 624mhz for my audio player. I had to run it at 208mhz and backlight off to squeeze 6 hrs out of it.

If your intention was to have your pda as a music player, you should have gone with the rx3715. Marathon battery life, and you can turn the screen off.

Btw, I belive wmp10 has an option to turn the lcd off while playing in all pdas. Should save lots of battery life.

    • But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.
    • Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
