Hop-on's HOP 1885 takes MP3 phones low-end

If you're ready to "Hop-on To The Future!" -- or, maybe like, Hop-on to two years ago -- you might want to check out the HOP 1885 that is promising to be a low-cost contender in the MP3 phone space, even if it's not the most exciting entrant yet. The phone supports Mini-SD cards for MP3 storage, and has an FM tuner, but it's otherwise sparse, with a 128x128 1.5-inch screen and a mere VGA camera. We'll have to wait for CES to see what they're debuting this at, but with the current price on MP3 players and low endian phones, we don't know why this couldn't be free after carrier subsidies.
