p2p news / p2pnet:- It looks a little like a disposable gas lighter. Or maybe one of those candy dispensers with the funny heads, only without the heads.

But it`s neither. Instead, it`s Dell`s answer to Apple, and it`s called the DJ Ditty.

Dell Inc. will start selling its first flash-based portable music player today, taking fresh aim at the popular iPods that dominate the market for digital tunes, says the Cox News Service.

It`ll cost $100 with 512 megabytes of memory and works most like the iPod Shuffle but includes a menu screen like the new iPod Nano.

Dell also offers an FM tuner on its Ditty, something not available on either iPod model, and it works with subscription music services, adds Cox.

Mp3 rentals which disappear if you decide to opt out? Forget it.
