Perhaps a bit jealous of fellow memory manufacturer
SanDisk's successes in the portable audio space,
Kingston is breaking in with their own portable media device. Titled the K-PEX (Kingston Portable Entertainment eXperience), the unit sports a 2-inch LCD, SD card slot, and about all the video and audio codec support you could ask for. Weighing 2.3-ounces, the device manages a lot for its size: a built-in mic and speakers are included, and you can hook up your camera via USB to pull off pictures on the go. You wouldn't be wrong to think this thing looks like a
certain portable gaming device; Kingston is packing in two games with the device, and while third party support is never a given, we're guessing there should be a few more options down the road. We're not sure on date or price just yet, but the K-PEX should be coming to the US "soon" in 1GB and 2GB capacities.

So have they booked Kevin Spacey for the ads yet?

Gameboy Micro??
Has any of you ever seen an Atari Lynx II?
Now that is similar...
Come to think of it, if this thing had an atari logo and came bundled with some old-school atari games i'd buy it in a second
What I'm wondering if this'll support .nes rom files like some similar looking flash based PMP devices out of China.
