M-Bird's XZ-22 flash media player

It's been a while since we last heard from M-Bird, but it looks like maybe, just maybe, they've shed their egregiously awful stylings for a milder, more Cingular 8125-ish looking enclosure. Their XZ-22 media player features 2.2-inch 260k color display, USB On-The-Go, and 512MB / 1 / 2GB capacities in 1.9 x 3.5 x 0.6-inch body. Nothing mind blowing, but it's an aesthetic step forward for one of the worst habitual offenders of taste in the audio player world, that's for sure.

Seems like too much of a coincidence for this to be called an M-Bird, and for the man displayed on the screen to be flipping the bird. . . .

How come the Korean media player has tons of Cinese characters on the screen, instead on hot Korean girls in sweaters?

to #2:

You see Chinese characters because in Korea they still teach them. They are called Hanja, in Korea.

Why there are no girls in sweaters? I don't know.

it looks like it was inspired by the psp.

Confucious on a cell phone. There's got to be something wrong with that. I don't know what, but something.

Opps. On a media player that is.

That's the first entry from the of Confucius. It goes like this:

"Studying and reviewing it from time to time, is this not joyous? Having a friend come from afar, is this not a pleasure? When others do not appreciate you and yet you do not resent them, is this not the mark of the Gentleman?"
