THE CUTTING EDGE/TECHNOLOGY NEWS : MORE ON TECH : Dell’s New Offerings

Dell Computer Corp. unveiled new computer products including laptops in new colors and a personal computer/stereo system, as well as a marketing push to rev up its image to appeal to new age groups. Among the new offerings is a new personal computer/stereo combination that includes MusicMatch Jukebox software, a Diamond Rio 500 Digital Audio MP3 player, which works like a Walkman for music taken off the Web, and speakers with a sub-woofer. The PC maker, taking a cue from Apple Computer Inc.’s colorful iBook, also will offer Inspiron laptops in a choice of Tahoe Blue or Storm Grey.
