If you thought Toshiba was only
involved in one
DAP launch this week, think again, because ol' Tosh has also decided to revitalize its
Gigabeat P-series with the P10K and P20K. Last time we heard from this flash-based line was when the 512MB / 1GB P5L got a multi-colored
premium edition, and the pink variety must have been especially popular, as that and white were the two colors chosen for the 1GB P10; white is your only choice for the 2GB P20, but both models can change it up with removable faceplates. Besides the capacity bump over the
P5L and P10L, these new P's retain all of their predecessors' features: a 1.1-inch color OLED, MP3 / WMA / WAV / PlaysForSure support, line in / voice / FM recording, and a 14-hour rechargeable battery. Scheduled for release in early December, the P20 is listed at 17,980 Yen ($153), while the smaller P10 will be priced around 13,980 Yen ($119).

yay toshiba
wow, someone was playing too much wiiiiii when they created this. Its like a Nano+Wii mix
i'm torn as to what to think:
the zune is said to be based on a gigabeat...
so in reality, while it's 1st gen zune, it's something like a 4g gigabeat right? thoughts?
cough ~Zune Nano Competitor in the making~ COUGH
They said next time the Zune would be designed in-house. So I higly doubt it. although that white toshiba would look kind of cool if it had a black click-pad instead of a crossbar.
Going the Apple way. :\
Can't be a Zune; it supports PlaysForSure :D :D
Anyone remember the Apple patent filings for the iPhone/new nano? One of the mock ups looks JUST LIKE this thing... link! http://www.appleinsider.com/article.php?id=1862
Yawn......yawn
Don't buy this thing. Toshiba abandoned the people who bought a Gigabeat S series. We have no accessories, no firmware upgrade, nothing. Stay away from their products.
