Decktron i-MPIA IMP 8000 MP3 player

We like the size, but not the capacity of the Decktron (a South Korean outfit) IMP 8000, a flash-based 128/256/512 MB MP3/WMA audio player which has a 1-inch color LCD that can display BMP (and we assume JPG) picture files, an internal FM tuner, USB 2.0 support, direct recording to MP3, and packs in 17 hours of playback on a lithium polymer battery. Roughly half the size of an iPod mini at 33 x 60 x 15.5 mm, it weighs just 30 grams and promises OGG Vorbis support via a firmware upgrade in November. 

[Thanks, Robert]

What's the point of all these tiny, warped little players? Are they supposed to evolve into the next great thing? No, they are pathetic knock-offs of the current "great thing." I don't think they even qualify as news...

The product page states there is a 1GB version. What were you looking for in a flash player?

An nice extruded cube to stick on my pocket? Can't they make it nice and flat?

Display a picture? How lame of an addition is that? How about some full motion video or just use it as a digital readout.
