Fujiyama F-MP57 media player shows off its slim size

Well, speaking of Chinese media players, we've just come across this newcomer, the Fujiyama F-MP57. Apparently it brings a 3-inch screen (or possibly a 1.8-inch one -- we have conflicting info) and a built-in 1.3 megapixel camera to the normal media player design. Beyond that, the F-MP57 will play WMA, MP3, WAV files, packs an SD card slot (it can support up to 1GB in addition to its maxed out 2GB of internal storage), plays back video at 320 x 240, boasts a TV out (NTSC / PAL), and comes with an optional FM radio. All of that is stuffed into a slim 134 x 62 x 17 mm (5.2 x 2.4 x 0.6 inches) case. And in what is unfortunately an oft-repeated mantra around here, no pricing or availability info is available as of press time.

Wow that is a cool little gadget. I wonder if I can check www.datearichguy.com with it? Anyone wanna buy it for me? hahaha

looks pretty.

Doing some rough adding up I got the screen as 11 inches if it was half the length of the player, but it's even more so I'd go with the 1.8 inch display.

Good lord. I'm already carrying an Ipod, a Digital Camera, A cell phone, A Palm TX, and a bluetooth headset. Now someone has to make another sexy gadget that I feel compelled to get? I'm out of pockets, dammit!

And don't tell me to just get a Treo. Jack of all trades, master of none.

3 gigs max? It should support 4 gig SD cards. Otherwise, that's a pretty sleek piece of hardware.

Holy shit.

Looks nice

Skyline, you're an idiot. The screen is not 11 inches diagonally. Where'd you get that number? Push the wrong button on your calculator?

Anyway, doing some, hopefully, more exact math then skyline did, the screen is definately 3 inches diagonally... NOT 1.8 (Come on people, you can rule that out based on approximation, anyway...)

Why is a Chinese media player called Fujiyama? Isn't that a Japanese surname?

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 22nd 2006 12:29AM]

Just show us the price...
comparing to crazy chinese miniplayer you mentioned.
hmm

its strange how a chinese electronics company is using a "Japanese" name (fujiyama which means MT Fuji)

[distantguy Posted Oct 22nd 2006 12:35AM]

Instead of "oft-repeated mantra around here, no pricing or availability info is available as of press time," how bout we coin a new term, since you use it so often (sucks being on the bleeding edge, huh?). How bout PANAPT (Pricing and Availablity Not Available at Press Time)? NAOPOA? (Nothing Available On Pricing Or Availability.) PANA? (Pricing and Availabiltiy Not Available.)
