They're color-screened followups to January's monochrome NP1100, and the NP2500 does audio out (including coaxial digital audio) just like is forebear, while the NP2900 (pictured) includes built-in speakers. The players work with internet radio, your PC's music library and some online music services like Rhapsody. No word on price or release date."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1220116248.usr10.jpg" /></p><p>I think there is a somewhat narrow market for these types of devices. If you make them too nice, they become too expensive, and you might as well just use a 360 or other game system. But then they have to be nice because someone buying one of these list probably looking for a classier looking option than a gaming system.</p><p> </p>
