We're onto your game, ZVUE. Just days after giving us a reason to laugh with the introduction of the
1GB Journey DAP, you're delivering yet another media player with yet another icon on it. This go 'round, we're looking at none other than The King -- an Elvis Presley-emblazoned media player with 1GB of Elvis video clips, a 2.4-inch display, FM tuner, voice recorder, photo / text viewer and USB connectivity. Those looking to shake things up can toss in a microSD card for additional tunes, though you'll be forced to hand over $49.88 to Wally World in order to claim your own. We're tempted to say it's now or never, but really, it's from August 12th onward.

Aiieeee! My eyes, my eyes!!!
Seriously, that's one fugly PMP. Why can't ZVUE make something that doesn't make our eyes bleed?
Now I know why the King was singing, "You ain't nothin' but a hound dog," because that PMP really looks like an ugly mutt. I guess I'll just put on my blue suede shoes and walk away from it.
This thing was made to look like it's from the 50's, and it kinda got the idea right.
I don't think it's "ugly", per se, it just looks like something Elvis fans would buy. In other words, ugly to most people, but it looks like they got the target market correct with the design.
If I get this on December 25th it sure will be a Blue Christmas... I'll probably Return to Sender. And there's sure to be A Little Less Conversation once you unwrap it.
But Don't Be Cruel to your little sister, she only wants a Teddy Bear.
Actually its not fugly "Craig." Its the curvy style of an acoustic guitar mind you. And most PMP's are fugly by inheritence, bc they never seem to get the dimensions and appearenec balanced that often. I won't buy it, but I am sure some will.
blind or american elvis fans, obviously
I know it's supposed to be a guitar. That doesn't help.
First you said it's not fugly, then you said most PMPs are fugly...make up your mind, man.
Slightly flip, or modify letters instead of creative thinking.... great marketing?
ZUNE? ZVUE?
iPod? iRud?
ZVUE was first, they sued microsoft for "zune" and got a million out of it. http://sec.edgar-online.com/2006/11/09/0000950136-06-009348/Section5.asp
Check your facts first...
To ZVUE: Thank you very much.
don't step on my zvue-suede shoes.
Don't be Zvue
To a heart that's true
So, who is this Elvis fellow and why is his hair so greasy?
I hear he makes the devil's music. I've gathered concerned parents and we banned this devil's music at our local radio station. Someone has to think of the children.
Will they please just let the poor guy die already.
not if there's a bucketload of money to make.
Elvis is dead and no longer King. This will suffer the same fate only that it was never King. Looks like something I puked up over the weekend.
SOOPERGOOMAN is the new Steffen Jobbs
I like it.
