The females can choose between the Joybee102 (128/256Mb) and the Joybee180 (256Mb). Males can go for the Joybee110 (128Mb) or the Joybee180 (256 Mb). All players are MP3/WAV/WMA compatible and cost between 73 and 146 Euros."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/benq.jpg" /><br /><br />Akihabara has a fantastic collection of images of the upcoming BenQ MP3 players. Even if you don't click on all 21 images for the full res (though it is recommended), I say that you should at least scroll through the page. Very nicely done.

A unique design for most of hte models, was initially turned off by the size of the 102 till I saw the very large headphone jack and realized that the photos are significantly larger then actual size. I don't know the coins in the picture so it is a little vague feeling.

In edition I am curious how the lack of display screen effects usability in the Joybee102. How do you know battery level or song track, or does i not matter. A bold departure from other models on the market to be sure.

Strikes me weird that two different models would share the same product ID, Joybee180.

The more the merrier I say.

I like those medallion looking ones. Very cool idea.
