Mobiblu Boxon gets unboxed on video

We haven't heard a peep about the Mobiblu Boxon since over a year ago, but the tiny Skype-capable OLED-sporting 2GB DAP has apparently emerged in France, where Generation MP3 was able to get their hot little hands on one and pull it out of the box for our viewing pleasure. It looks like the screen is slick but a little disappointing on the quality tip (that's a sticker in the photo above), and it isn't the most ergonomic thing in the world -- they definitely called it the Boxon for a reason. No word on price or if we'll see this guy in the States, but those of you aching for more can hit the read link to watch the unboxing on video.

I am sorely disappointed at the lack of a boxoff pun.

"Mobiblu Boxon gets its boxoff on video" or something similar.

I thought the exact same thing. Engadget, only 2 people have noticed...you still have time to change it!!!

It's not like Mobi is the first to bring out a squarish, boxy-looking player...recently. This looks nice.

I kind of wish he had actually held it in the frame a bit more...and I'm not sure about the softcore porn soundtrack.

Didi you know that Boxon is slang for brothel in french?

What a BAD video demonstration that was. Jesus, HOLD IT STEADY MAN! or set it on the table, for god sakes. Jugez-le régulier!

My questions:

• Why the device is so thick, given its mm-thin OLED display?
• Why Apple didn't use this display in its iPhone?
