LG to launch FM37 touchscreen media player

In Korea, LG will soon launch the FM37, one of the few dedicated media players with a touchscreen. The 37 uses a 2.4-inch display, and thanks to the touch technology, has no need for any front-mounted controls that could mar the aluminum surface. Inside is up to 4GB of flash memory, which can be used to play e-books, pre-recorded music or video, or live DMB broadcasts. Available battery power is substantial, lasting approximately 20 hours with audio or five with video. Exact pricing and release information is unknown -- but the preceding 2GB FM35 debuted last summer, and LG has yet to unveil a product page. [Via AVING]
