Audiovox launches Lyra "by RCA" A6008 8GB slider DAP

by Paul Miller posted Jan 7th 2008 at 10:20PM

There might be few that mourned the virtual death of the RCA brand, but Audiovox was quick to point it out as the brand that "started the MP3 revolution." We're not really expecting this Lyra A6008 DAP to start another, but it's an interesting device nonetheless given the B-team efforts RCA historically put into its players. The A6008 features 8GB of storage and a 2.4-inch LCD for the quite reasonable pricetag of $200. The slider function unveils a scroll wheel, which we're guessing gives the unit a bit of unnecessary heft, but obviously allows for more player face dedicated to that screen -- it's always a give and take. No word on when exactly this'll hit.

Funny how all the new phones coming out have touch screen.
All of them came out after the iphone too!
Conincedence? Nope.

I'm preetty sure it's not a phone, and i don't think it has a touch screen either, so go back into your hole, fanboy.
So by your logic, all mobile phones that feature mp3 playback are rip offs of this http://www.textually.org/ringtonia/archives/2004/12/006262.htm ?
The iphone made touchscreens in phones the new "it" thing, so why shouldn't other companies take advantage of that and offer their own touchscreen phones? It just makes good sense.. Life is about making $'s, not worrying about whose toes you're stepping on.

Apple aren't god, I'm sure they've stolen a few things themeselves, for example; doesn't the design of this (http://www.exchange3d.com/cubecart/images/uploads/aff232/Nokia6233_1.jpg) 2005 nokia look similar to another phone released just last year by everyones favourite fruit company?
