MP navi's 4.3-inch touchscreen PMP slips through the crack

South Korea has a long history of pushing out wicked cool PMP / navigation / do-it-all devices, but MP navi's first effort definitely aims low. Boasting a 4.3-inch touchscreen, an ultrathin chassis and support for more formats than you'd care to count, there's not much here that sets it apart from the competition. Of course, just looking good goes a long way, so if you're interested in saving this one from imminent obscurity, you'll need to hop a flight to Seoul (mind that DMZ, though) and cough up ₩139,000 ($114).

So, what are its dimensions? "Ultrathin" isn't very informative.

Its a shame, i get the feeling if this was made by an american company it would get much better coverage. But seriously, squinting at that ui, it actually looks pretty good!

But im from Australia, we dont get any cool shit at all... ever.

Awesome, a phone that you have to reformat every year...

Somehow the picture reminds me of the money in the new Geico ads...It looks somewhat forlorn.

yawn....

Korean consumers are buying iPod Touches like there's no tommorow and leaving these big bulky PMPs behind.

Korean PMP manufacturers are shaking in their boots as Apple takes it share of the Korean market with a superior product.
