Oppo X31M guitar-ish shaped DAP

To be honest, we didn't really see it at first glance, but apparently this new X31M player from Oppo is shaped like a musical instrument of the guitar variety. Funny, no? We're not sure on capacity, but the player does support the usual MP3 and WMA files, promises 11 hours of battery and can play FM radio. There's an OLED display, USB 2.0 connection, and, uh, a headphone jack. These China-bound good times can be yours for some undetermined price, at some undetermined point in time.

That thing is gonna explode when it drops on one of those corners, although it does look like it'll fit in a pocket on a keychain looped on belt.

Probably more convenient than piano-sized.

Intresting, but the neck looks like it would break off very easily, especially after playing the air guitar to Ironman too much:)

Oppo had awesome engineers. They make the best DVD player that you can buy right now. I don't know about this funny looking POS though!

I dont think the "neck" is one solid piece. Looks like a linked chain's

I think having an MP3 player in a guitar is a cool idea. It actually goes beyond lip syncing. If someone did not know it was a MP3 player you could put some strings on it and pretend to play and sing at the same time!

The only question I have is...Can I play Guitar Hero 1/2 on it?
