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.
MPIO shows off five new media players at IFA
Keepin' things fresh in Berlin is MPIO, which has apparently unveiled not one, but five new media players during IFA. Up first is the MG200, which looks to tout 2GB of flash storage, an SDHC expansion slot, 1.5-inch OLED display, an FM tuner, and support for MP3, WMA, and WMA-DRM. The MG300 steps it up by including a 2.4-inch QVGA screen, 4GB of capacity, and the ability to handle AVI, JPEG, and BMP files in addition to the aforementioned formats. The diminutive MD100 plays nice with MP3, WMA, and OGG files, boasts an FM tuner and lasts up to 60-hours with the LCD flipped off, while the 2GB OG21 rocks a 1.8-inch screen and also does video. Bringing up the rear is the OG23, which packs 8GB of space, a QVGA display, and SDHC support to boot. Per usual, mum's the word on pricing and availability, but click on through for a few more snapshots of the group.[Via AnythingButiPod]
