The E50 (supposedly pictured above) is, however, another tale entirely. The slim, brushed aluminum encased PMP -- which will come in 2GB, 4GB and 8GB models -- boasts a 1.8-inch color LCD, an FM tuner, and gets a rumored 52-hours of audio life. We don't have full specs yet, but the players will apparently appear in January with the 4GB costing about €69 (or about $90)."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1228949080.usr10.jpg" /></p><p>Reminds me of a flash-based Zune with out the control pad, but instead featuring a sweet brushed aluminum finish. Curious if it also features a glass screen, as that would make for a very sexy little player.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
