UMAX intros new MP3 players, USB flash drives, and drawing tablets

UMAX Vega 203

They're not completely abandoning their roots and giving up on scanners or anything (huge ironic sigh of relief), but UMAX is obviously making a big push into consumer electronics and earlier today announced a new lineup of what look to be OEM'd drawing tablets, MP3 players, USB flash drives, and mini hard drives today (they intro'd a line of digital cameras back in January). Nothing too extraordinary, but the one semi-standout is the Vega 203, a 512MB MP3 player that retails for 100 bucks and comes with an SD card slot for adding additional memory, a 128 x 64 pixel display, a voice recorder, and an integrated FM tuner.
