MPIO's got the metrosexual market locked up tight

Oh, good, we've been looking high and low for a Metro Sexual style MP3 player, and MPIO happens to have sent around their newsletter. Glad that MPIO stepped up their HD400 to the task, and decked it with an 8GB drive, as well as supposedly having WMA, and OGG support, and an FM tuner and line-in recording. Now that our search is over, we can finally return to buying Frederic Malle products and shopping at Helmut Lang. Thanks MPIO, you're the best!

in what way is this product metrosexual? it looks like any other dap on the market...if anything the ipod is the most metroesque of anything..

[funkbass @ Dec 19th 2005 12:55AM]

ummm, I'd say that the label for the metrosexual mp3 player would go to the iPod....It seems pretty metrosexual to me. It's "sexy", smooth curves and comes in shiek colors....

Besides, I thought the normal strategy is to try to appeal to as large amounts of people as possible. This appeals to what.......1 percent of 1 percent of the population?

yeah....its real metrosexual...black dap with a screen on it and buttons. silver highlights too. thats so rare.

what a lame concept.

[Vasco @ Dec 19th 2005 12:55AM]

I think it looks good...

O.o

[Sean Sperte @ Dec 19th 2005 12:55AM]

Agreed (with previous comments, not the entry). Apple's got the metrosexual market already.

[Michael @ Dec 19th 2005 12:55AM]

metrosexual?

No I don't think so.

[Hans @ Dec 19th 2005 12:55AM]

Haha...no need to get personal guys...they shouldn't have labelled it as a product for metro sexuals...

it does look good though...

[Chris @ Dec 19th 2005 12:55AM]

wait if i think it looks cool does it mean im a metrosexual?

[tonicboy @ Dec 19th 2005 12:55AM]

Echo, the post is just making fun of MPIO, who are the ones who labelled the device Metro Sexual (notice the photo?). Hardly anything racist or sexist about it.

[tino @ Dec 19th 2005 12:55AM]

Haha I actually think the word "metrosexual" is very fitting for the thing. Don't listen to da h8ters.
