LG UP3Flat old-school shuffle knock

We hate to break it to you LG, but this time you're about three months too late. But even though the UP3Flat might have been a fun shuffle competitor earlier this year, it's still nothing to scoff at even now. Besides coming in sizes up to 2GB, it's even got a "UV coated Luxury Finish," three-color LED, retractable USB, and support for OGG, as well as the usual MP3 and WMA. Doubtful we'll ever see it stateside, but it's fun to wonder what Apple Legal might have done back in the day before the shuffle clipped on to one's clothes.

Way to stereotype, genius.

If it's this irritating, why bother reading and commenting? You think anything's gonna change just because YOU made a moronic comment? Sheesh. Don't open your mouth (or type online) unless you have something useful to say. There are enough pricks like you in this world for it to function without your idiocy joining in.

Also, I'm an Indian and I could fucking run circles around you if we came to discussing english. Just because you're an American doesn't mean you're good at English.

Jackass.

"Probably some company has been set up top blog new releases for tech companies..."

What? Someone set us up the bomb?

Hey douche bag, here's a tip: The next time you spout out some ethnocentric rant complaining about non English speakers, you'd better darn well make sure that your grammar and spelling is immaculate. Your hypocritical intolerance makes America look bad.

Ummm... hate to break it to you all-knowing-Ryan, but Apple did not invent the MP3 player / USB drive.

Tiny screenless mp3 players have been along long before the appli iCliponmyshirt

I like it. Looks sleek and nice. Hopefully it comes with the lanyard too

Comparing some US English with the Hindustan Times I have to say India wins hands down.

[PEZ @ Dec 18th 2006 9:05AM]

Just to note: your english is British English. US English has been going through 'versions' since the beginning. It was the purpose of the USA to become seperate in everyway from the UK.

Dipshit. Now pull your DickTionary out of your ass.

[Rohit Kapur @ Dec 18th 2006 9:08AM]

True. And yes, Indians are by default taught British English in school, but that does not mean that everybody learns it. I, for example, learnt both British and American and can speak both properly. I have many friends in the US and there's never an accent problem.

Either way, let's bury the hatchet. Engadget is not the right place to fight over grammar, semantics and syntax (even though Engadget editors tend to screw all of 'em up occasionally ;-) ).

[Matt Hadder @ Dec 18th 2006 9:27AM]

So the English speak 'English' and Americans speak 'Enlgish'?
Watch the movie 'Trainspotting' after listening to Jeff Foxworthy (or vise-versa) and you'll see they actually are two different languages.

Clearly only one should be the winner to keep the name 'English' though.

Instead of answering ethnic-related sh1t from losers like that, use the report-as-offensive button. It'll keep the blog focused and save you a lot of time.

Aguante Latinoamérica, Carajo!

\o/ ogg! \o/

[Tim Marman @ Dec 18th 2006 11:02AM]

So, judging from the comments, I guess it's safe to say this release is a non-event :)

[Dan @ Dec 19th 2006 4:56AM]

I spotted something about this somewhere on http://www.personal-players.com last week. I am quite excited by this as I really like my LG Chocolate mobile phone and I think this looks pretty stylish too. I want one, so if you are listening Santa....
