Although there had been rumors that Dell was working on a new portable media player aimed at being an iPod-killer and based on Zing software, the Wall Street Journal reported yesterday that those plans have been shelved and Dell now plans on focusing on implementing the Zing-software on their computers rather than creating a new MP3 player.
