MPIO's MG300 portable media player gets official

Remember that MG300 we peeked at IFA way back in September? Yeah, that little bugger is finally getting official, and there's even a price and release date to go along with it. Just to bring you back up to speed, this one offers a 320 x 240 resolution display, up to 8GB of internal storage space, an SD expansion slot, eight equalizer presets, a built-in microphone, FM tuner, USB port and a rechargeable Li-ion to boot. As for file support, it will play nice with MP3, WMA, APE, FLAC, JPEG, BMP, GIF and AVI, and software comes bundled in to convert a myriad video formats to the latter. Hang tight kids -- this thing is slated to land next month for ¥10,980 ($97), ¥14,980 ($132) or ¥19,980 ($176), which will net you 2GB, 4GB or 8GB of capacity, respectively.
