TrekStor showcases i.Beat blaxx portable media player

Surely not as flashy as the gilded i.Beat organix seen at last year's CeBIT, TrekStor's i.Beat blaxx still looks mighty fine in its own right. Debuting at IFA, this diminutive player weighs in at just 26-grams and features a 1.3-inch 160 x 128 resolution display, MP3 / WMA / OGG / WAV / SMV file support, a built-in FM tuner, line-in port, a rechargeable Li-ion, and USB connectivity. The units arrive in both 2GB and 4GB flavors and come bundled with a set of Sennheiser headphones, and while the least capacious iteration will ring up at €119.99 ($162), you can double the storage space for just €30 ($41) more.

ya kno if i was far enough away and that thing had a scroll wheel, i would think it would be a ipod nano...

copyright infigment *cough chough "oh excuse me!"

That's the same thing as saying that all TV-sets are lookalikes. An mp3 player needs to be square, with a square screen and a square set of buttons. I can hardly believe that is a copyright 'infigment'.

Interesting, u must not own a black 1st gen ipod nano. first the face plate is black and the back is silver just like the blaxx. and the edges might as well be rounded like the 2nd gen. and u kno i meant infrigement!!

So now they have a patent on the colour black as well?

It looks much more like the Philips GoGear 1630 than like any ipod i've ever seen.

They’re distributing a special edition iBeat blaxx in a big white tin through Kentucky Fried Chicken.

It’s called a Cool Clucks Can.

With a name like this... it's a mystery how TrekStor didn't completely maximize it with iBeat "Blakkks" Didn't anybody read this out loud?

samsung k3 anyone?

[pr_master @ Aug 24th 2007 2:42PM]

Look like a Samsung k3 copycat.

I know this is sort of off topic, but considering the company's name, don't you think the product name is a little bit. . .well. . ."un-PC"?

I beat blaxx? hahaha

Looks more like an Olympus m:robe 100 to me.

[Vizion @ Aug 24th 2007 12:39PM]

yeah, in my post at dapreview, I said it looked like a combination of the m:robe 100 and K3. As it turns out, this predates the K3. It's actually a rebranding of the M-Cody M30. I've updated my newspost with this new info.

Lol... Am I the only one who thinks that "i.Beat blaxx" is an unfortunate name?

[Tyrone Biggums @ Aug 24th 2007 12:49PM]

Ohhh yeah...
'i.Beat blaxx'... Well, I.beat honkies! SUCKA!

[Ypoknons @ Aug 24th 2007 1:49PM]

It does really remind me of the Olympus MR100, though

[phate @ Aug 28th 2007 3:40PM]

Looks like they used the same marketing department as SONY...

Frequent I-am-bored much?

Thanks for ripping off my joke word for word.
