Technonia announces Slimline DAP

While we're pretty sure the world doesn't need too many more thin, black MP3 players, Korean manufacturer Technonia thinks otherwise. The company has announced a rather MPIO-ish portable audio player -- the 7.5mm thick Slimline. This little guy does pretty much everything you'd expect from something in its class, and really, truly nothing you wouldn't. Those things include playing MP3 and WMV files, tuning in FM radio, and displaying your images on its 1.5-inch OLED screen. 1GB unit on sale by the end of the month in Korea for 90,000KRW (or about $97US).

"This little guy does pretty much everything you'd expect from something in its class, and really, truly nothing you wouldn't.... tuning in FM radio..."

And yet, iPods still sell like hotcakes, despite not having the basic functionality even Engadget acknowledges ought to be in every MP3 player.

3,000 Korean Engineers can't be wrong.
