Dell gets out of digital music players and Sony Ericsson gets into competition with Blackberry

Today saw more changes in the consumer electronics world as Dell announced that they would all but get out of the digital music player market as their attempt to take on Apple's huge dominance of the market has clearly failed.

In the mean time it looks as though Apple's iTunes is picking up more and more momentum as video sales increase and networks hint at early successes from their iTunes launches, prompting them to offer more programs. NBC and MTV seem particularly happy.

And lastly, Sony Ericsson are the latest company to take on RIM's Blackberry for a share of the wireless email market. They have just launched the M600, which has Blackberry email software embedded and looks cannily like an iPod. Mind you with 600M corporate email users to go after it's not suprising things are hotting up.
