"This is an eagerly awaited MP3 player. The device has a 20Gb HDD to fill with your MP3/WMA/WAV files, it displays MP3 information on its large 1.8" ( 160x128 ) screen, but you can also display pictures and Mpeg4 videos on it. The dimensions of this device are 103x60x19mm and it weighs 180g. Expect a price around 330 EUR ($425)."



At first look you might mistake it for an iRiver (well those of us who don't own one). Unfortunately, it probably won't set the world on fire with that price and trying to crack the iPod market is hard enough, let alone trying to fight off Creative/Rio/iRiver.
