Shiro Video Players

Relative unknown device maker Shiro said this week that it hopes to break into the rapidly expanding world of flash-based video players with three new models tailored to different sizes and tastes. The Shiro MK (pictured), ME, and VE will all have support for video in addition to the now universal support for MP3, WAV, and WMA songs. Significantly, however, all three will also have a card slot for extra storage. The thicker 2GB MK will have an SD slot for potentially doubling its available space, Shiro says; though slimmer, the 4GB ME and VE players will use cellphone-oriented miniSD and microSD cards respectively. Extra details and photos of the trio follow after the break.

Aside from storage differences, screen size will also play into the designs, with the more moderate ME and MK using 1.8-inch screens while the tall VE gets a larger 2.4-inch display. Prices and launch dates have yet to surface but should become public when Shiro brings the devices to CeBIT on March 15th. [via DAPReview]
