Transcend intros T.sonic 650 DAP

Transcend certainly seems intent on keeping its T.sonic line of digital audio players well fleshed out, with it recently adding yet another model in the form of the T.sonic 650. Like all the company's other DAPs, this one's a flash-based player (packing 4GB, specifically), and it includes all the features you'd expect in a unit of this sort, including an FM tuner, an OLED screen, and support for MP3, WMA, and WMA-DRM10 file formats. Slightly less common is a so-called "Voice Activation Detection" function, which we presume is exactly what it sounds like. No word on a price just yet, but we wouldn't expect it to put too much of a hurt on your bank account.

This looks no better than my 256MB Panasonic, suitably labelled "Digital Audio Player".

I guess that the "Voice Activation Detection" function is that when using dictaphone mode, it automatically stops and resumes recording when it "hears" voice. Also called VOX on some other devices/brands.

Sansa c200 series, anyone? And 4GB for that? C'mon.

The 2GB version is white and goes for $75 (untaxed).
The 4GB version is black and is out-of-stock with no price available.
