the 15 gb dell dj was selling for 200 couple weeks ago. it was 224 even last week. if you're gonna get one, hold off for a bit cause dell always has sales.

as for size, it's a tad bigger than the ipod, but the difference isn't very noticeable.

and i heard that the dell's sound quality and playlist option aren't as great. i'm always wary of buying anything 1st generation. problems don't always arise immediately. the ipod is in its 3rd or 4th generation, so most the kinks have been worked out.
