The specifications of the A700 and A701 are no different. The only factor differentiating the two is the body - the A701 featuring ultra-smooth black curves, while the A700 looking um... a little less lovable. According to Mobinaute, the A700 is set to be released only in the Asian market.<br /><br /><b>Online Translation:</b> <a href="http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/trurl_pagecontent?lp=fr_en&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mobinaute.com%2Fmobinaute%2Farticle.php%3Fid%3D20051003160618">French to English (Babel Fish)</a>

maybe id like it more in person, but from the picture that thing is one piece of fisher-price fuuuugly....

[Jonathon Watkins]

I MUCH prefer it in black. It's got just about everything you could ask for in a tiny PPC. I wonder what the price will be when it comes out. :)

[Paragon]

Now we know why the 701 is so cool looking. They took all the ugly out of it and put it in this one. :-)

The white finish reminds me of the iPod.

I'm not particularly fond of this look, but I am glad that companies are experimenting with the aesthetics of their devices. The variety will be good for the market.

[PetiteFlower]

Wow. That is quite possibly the ugliest piece of electronic equipment I've ever seen.

Does it come with a bucket? :pukeface:
