LG rolls out 8GB MFJM53 PMP
LG has just launched one of the personal media players they announced at CES earlier this year. The MFJM53 has an 8GB drive, a 1.77-inch touch-sensitive OLED screen, and measures a slight 10.1 x 4.8 x 1.4cm, weighing 88g. And while it certainly meets the definition of a PMP, LG seems to be downplaying that aspect of the device, referring to it simply as an MP3 player on their website. In addition to MP3s, it'll handle PlaysForSure WMA files, WAV, Ogg, MPEG-4 AVI, and JPEG files. The device also has an FM radio, built-in microphone, and line-in port for audio recording, and the battery should give you about 30 hours of music playback or 4 hours of video, according to LG. They also list something called "Music Therapy" in the specs but don't give any details. Whatever it is, it sounds like Mac users will have to get their therapy fix elsewhere.
