This kind of space will allow you to carry around 500 songs compressed in CD quality. The Asamond ZK1 supports MP3, WMA, ASF and OGG files. Despite its ridiculously small dimensions, it offers USB2 connectivity, a FM radio, audio recording, line-in encoding, a double headphones connector, an integrated watch and an OLED screen!<br /><br />The Adamond ZK1 will be on sale from March 2005 onwards for an undisclosed price (that will be lower than the Shuttle’s price)."<br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/ZK1.JPG" /><br /><br />Based on the features, this looks to be a solid entry into the flash based MP3 player market. I particularly like the double headphone connector and the OLED screen.

2Gb plus color display for less than the iPod shuttle?
I don't doubt it, but what is the shuttle selling for in euroland?
$200 euros?
That would work out to $250 US, maybe?
If its under US$200 it'll be *real* interesting instead of merely interesting... ;-)
