Qrio's QT-9 portable DMB player

Here ya go kids, another tiny DMB TV from Korea. Like the iRiver B10, this QT-9 from Qrio appears to be a dedicated player which goes pink, black and large with a 3.5-inch display packed into an ultra-slim, 9.8-millimeter slice of mobile TV goodness. Huh, Qrio!? Damn them for taking our dearly departed humanoid's name in vain... attack QRIOs of the world, attack!

Um....who cares? DMB sounds great. Call me when it's in the US. I thought I was using the US version of Engadget....not the Japan version.

gork, i agree. There should be a little "not for us" symbol by all these d[u]mb and foreign cell phone releases.

I agree. Oh, while you're at it can you also have a little 'also available in Norway' symbol. Or am I not allowed to read the Engadget American website?

To the first two posters, Engadget is about telling us what the future is bringing us, and also whats available now. If the product is in another country, something similar that works in your country will find its way to you soon enough.

I disagree. DMB is in a very few countries. Why is something like DMB even viable?? When cellphones have integrated EVDO or EDGE technologies, there's no sense in having a dedicated DMB service when you can just stream the videos over EVDO on demand. On demand video is the future. Sure, there will always be a need for live content, but then you can also stream this too.

My God that's a cute girl... I swear, I've been looking at that pic for a while now and I still haven't gotten to the players she's holding... Very cute. :-)

I have been wondering what they are teaching to the Korean youth in school, and the answer seems to be nothing but hate.
