Japanese manufacturer Siren has announced a trio of thoroughly average-looking digital audio players today, each available in a couple of different variations. Starting at the bottom end, the DP100 (in the middle, above) is the lowest cost model, available in 512MB, 1GB, and 2GB flavors for 5,980, 7,980, and 12,800 Yen respectively ($50-110 US), and available in your choice of silver, orange, or white. Next up is the Nano-esque DP200, also available in 512MB, 1GB, and 2GB variations, although slightly pricier at 9,980, 13,800, and 18,800 Yen ($86-$160) -- but that'll get you a slick OLED screen as well as an FM tuner and voice recorder. The top-end model is the DP300, available only in 1GB and 2GB versions for 14,800 and 19,800 Yen respectively ($128 and $170 US), packing the same specs as the DP200 but adding video playback (DivX, even) on the player's spacious 128 x 128 screen. Look for them all to be available (in Japan) later this month.

drop me
the first looks alright, the DP200 looks (not surprisingly) like the nano w/o the color screen and the the last is nice especially with the divx compatible video player...i might pick one of these up! (all thx to ebay we can get anything from any country!! what would we do w/o it??)
I'm not really digging these devices here. The last one looks like my cell phone... Yeah, divx would be nice, but I wish it would come in a better package.
It does look like a mobile phone... There seems to be nothing new here.
The left one looks like the "Max Sin Touch" from Maxfield, we have over here in Germany.
whudufuxup with all these damn flash players? itd be nice to see more high capacity players come out... i have never seen anybody use one of these 128MB-2GB players, what kind of market is there for them?
please stop using the word "drop" in this sense. I know you're trying to be trendy and coat-tail the music industry. Newsflash: the music industry and their lingo is annoying.
