LG FM20 stress-relieving DAP

Here's a sweet little bit of foreign goodness to lust after: the shiny shiny LG FM20 digital-audio-player-cum-stress-reliever, which besides doing the traditional tunes thing can produce "brain shower" sounds which we're sure many reputed researchers have found to lower stress levels in chimpanzees or some such nonsense. In addition to improving your entire life, the FM20 can also auto-adjust the EQ based on info from ID3 tags, which would be a pretty neat trick if digital equalizers, um, worked a little better. Available in a quarter, half, or full gig, this model supports MP3, WMA, and OGG, rocks USB 2.0, and will be avaiable somewhere else at sometime for some amount of currency that isn't dollars.

[Corbin McGrath @ Dec 29th 2005 3:45PM]

Sound like a good product. Did anyone else notice this in the first line?: "...digital audio player cum stress reliever..."

[AC @ Dec 29th 2005 3:51PM]

I don't quite understand what a cum stress reliever is either....but I'll take four please.

[Patrick @ Dec 29th 2005 4:06PM]

"Cum" is latin for with.

[noname989 @ Dec 29th 2005 4:07PM]

"digital audio player cum stress reliever"



What more needs to be said?

[Brendan @ Dec 29th 2005 4:18PM]

despite the vernacular, I think they were using the Latin...which if I remember right, means "with" in this context.

To # 9. I will give you credit for your bombastic comment. But let me just ask you some questions. I hope that you can answer to these questions properly. How can a poor country like Korea can have such an international groups like samsung which is capable of making more net profit than the combined net profit of the top 10 japanese electronics groups? I also want to know why do japanese companies love to use LCD/PDP's from samsung and LG phillips and why can't sony make PSP/PS1,2 and the upcoming PS3 without samsung. Please answer me:)

Who cares about the product, the paragraph was perfect techno-social satire.

[cy @ Dec 30th 2005 4:58PM]

to #12 and #14.

I live in korea for almost 2 years. (my mom is from korea).

and i do not hate korea whatsoever. actually i love korean food (in fact, im eating it EVERYDAY), culture...etc.

i just dont think the product is THAT nice. (compare to japanese product). korean product are flashy, but lack of detail.

i dont think korea is that poor, but they are not so rich. in this case, i must say some other east asia country like hong kong, taiwan, singapore are better.

why jpn and american company dont make their own memory, lcd...etc, because to US and JPN, they think korea, china, taiwan are OEM country.

beside this samsung start this marketing ahead than every east asia country, and they also offer the cheaper price than taiwan maker.

and to #9, most best thing are NOT from korea, a lot of them are from europe and america. you need to grow up!



best elect = from japan

best car = from europe

best areo space tech = from US

...etc.

i can go on and on about this, but i will stop here.

true hurt, huh? LOL@9&12

to #16

lol, poor japese...

JPN company is their make own memory, lcd,but why do japanese companies use LCD/PDP's from samsung and LG phillips?

you need to study more eco.

[John Molina @ Dec 31st 2005 4:19AM]

Wow.



This has got to be the most bad-English-ridden, racist and awkward commentary I have ever seen on Engadget. Yet, maybe I'm just not reading the comments as much as I should be to notice this more.



Kudos to the cumfusion and chocolate teapot. :)
