IOPS BlueQ Ships to US
IOPS has just shipped its compact BlueQ media player to the US. One of the only players with Bluetooth in the country, the BlueQ can transmit its audio wirelessly to headphones and speakers that fit the A2DP Bluetooth profile. The company also boasts of the BlueQ's blend of battery life with display quality: in spite of its small frame, the player can play music for as much as 33 consecutive hours even though it uses a higher-quality, 1.8-inch LCD in place of a less expensive but potentially more efficient OLED screen. Media playback is diverse with support for MP3 and OGG audio, MPEG-4 and AVI video, as well as JPEG photos and a host of Windows Media music and movie standards. FM radio is built-in. IOPS sells the Korean-made player in the US with 4GB of flash storage for $249 at normal pricing, though says it will sell the player for $189 until the end of the year.
