LG UP3Flat old-school shuffle knock
We hate to break it to you LG, but this time you're about three months too late. But even though the UP3Flat might have been a fun shuffle competitor earlier this year, it's still nothing to scoff at even now. Besides coming in sizes up to 2GB, it's even got a "UV coated Luxury Finish," three-color LED, retractable USB, and support for OGG, as well as the usual MP3 and WMA. Doubtful we'll ever see it stateside, but it's fun to wonder what Apple Legal might have done back in the day before the shuffle clipped on to one's clothes.[Via Engadget Chinese]
LG intros Shuffle-esque UP3 Sharp and Flat DAPs
They say that you shouldn't fix what's not broken, which is probably why we see so many MP3 players on the market taking "design cues" from the iPod family, and now LG has introduced two more models that bear a striking resemblance to Apple's flash-based Shuffle (except for the color, obviously, although the original UP3 did indeed come in white). Both the UP3 Sharp and UP3 Flat pack either 512MB or 1GB of storage into that familiar looking package, with each unit supporting MP3, WMA, OGG, and ASF file formats. The differences here lie in the devices' displays (or lack thereof) and their battery life: the OLED-equipped Sharp (pictured above) gets two less hours of juice than the screen-less, 10-hour-rated Flat (pictured after the break). Expect to see both models in stores before the end of the month, but probably only in Korea. Read- UP3 SharpRead- UP3 Flat[Via The MP3 Players]
