Coby introduces streamlined, puzzling MP570 MP3 player

Coby may not always produce the sleekest of devices, but the company has certainly come through on that count with its new MP570 MP3 player, which is bound to turn a few heads. Questionably functional design aside, however, this one is about as basic as can be, with it packing just 2GB of flash storage and no memory card slot, support for only MP3 and WMA formats, and a built-in rechargeable battery that promises just five hours of audio playback -- but, hey, it sure is shiny. No word on pricing or availability just yet, nor is there any indication of how you're actually supposed to use it.

interesting how the source link says "The item you are looking for is not available"

Looks more like a computer mouse than an mp3 player.

[HamThrax Posted Mar 29th 2010 8:51AM]

And when not listening to music it can double as a Magic Mouse

@HamThrax

*mighty?

@Saad the other one
.....magic.

[wozburger Posted Mar 29th 2010 8:52AM]

What a waste of shiny

[iapple Posted Mar 29th 2010 8:55AM]

I didn't know that the mighty mouse came in colors!

[ReadyKilowatt Posted Mar 29th 2010 9:04AM]

We switched Bob's mighty mouse with the Coby MP570. Let's see if he can tell the difference.

[blueeyesm Posted Mar 29th 2010 9:14AM]

Looks like a tongue.

[Galley Posted Mar 29th 2010 9:17AM]

WMA? What is this, 1998?

[Dead Man Inc Posted Mar 29th 2010 9:18AM]

Looks more like a cockroach to me.......

[Okjeff171 Posted Mar 29th 2010 11:03AM]

@Dead Man Inc Looks like the thing they used to get the Dino DNA from in jurrasic park

[stridermt2k Posted Mar 29th 2010 9:25AM]

It's actually packaged with the three seashells so you can figure 'em all out at the same time...in the bathroom.

Enjoy!

Is it April 1st already?

[GrandWorks Posted Mar 29th 2010 9:44AM]

They need to just toss it in a box of cereal.

[Prevacator Posted Mar 29th 2010 10:03AM]

2 GB of storage, only two file formats supported and it only gets 5 hours of battery life?

Who the hell would buy this thing?

[CrymeLord Posted Mar 29th 2010 10:09AM]

It depends how small it is. And if it's, say, less than $30, people will buy it. Around $50? Much less interest around.

[swbsam Posted Mar 29th 2010 10:19AM]

Oh look- it's the new Apple iAnal Suppository! When can I pre-order?!?

[masso Posted Mar 29th 2010 10:22AM]

5 hours? The hell?

[Tagbert Posted Mar 29th 2010 10:57AM]

What does the other side look like? Are we seeing the backside?

[Arkv2 Posted Mar 29th 2010 11:38AM]

You will use it with hate, frustration, and desperation, just like any other Coby product.

[T3chMasTR Posted Mar 29th 2010 12:18PM]

The street merchants in DC always tried to sell me Coby products. They were really cheap. I guess they do what they are intended to do. Coby is like the Great Value brand of Sony. I expect this thing to arrive in my next cerial box.

[PoopStain Posted Mar 29th 2010 12:31PM]

I'm still waiting for the Coby PlayStation after my Sony (which is actually the value brand of Coby) got the YLOD. I'm just saying if my PS3 will only last a year and a half, I can't expect Coby to do any worse...

Damn you Sony. Damn you to hell.

[scots79 Posted Mar 29th 2010 1:14PM]

@PoopStain Sucks for you, my launch day 60 gig is doing fine. *knocks on wood*

[pr0xymAn1ac Posted Mar 29th 2010 2:52PM]
