Datasafe's Oomi 2GB DAP: Still a Pebble by any other name

Clearly it was the name "Pebble" which caused the EZAV EMP-700 music player to come up short in its attempt to usurp the iPod from its DAP dominating position. Oomi, yeah, duh, that's the change that's needed. That and support for PlaysForSure WMA, MP3, a 2GB capacity, voice recorder, FM radio, and a reported 12 hour battery life will almost certainly, uh, make no difference whatsoever. Here's a hint: think ecosystem. This Korean product, made in China can be yours in the UK for about £70 or $130. Now you know.

Looks like another iPod rip-off.

Except now I do not know because I have absolutely no idea what information you were attempting to convey with this post. The picture is interesting, but the lack of information and the sarcastic and useless additional words provided me with no insight as to what this is, and no "facts" on what it is or how it exists. I understand it is a digital audio player. Beyond that, you have provided me with exactly no useful information.

Does it have a screen? If not, the FM tuner is going to be useless.

Looks more like a pager than anything. If it had a display like those Sony shiny neck thingies that is behind the mirror like surface I'd get one.

Anyway, Motorolla totally copied off of God with the PEBL.

agree with David. Less snark more info would be good.

This think looks kinda nice to me.
