Memorex MMP8640 Player
Memorex today hopes to stand out in a crowded field by releasing the MMP8640, its own approach to pocket music and video players. Distinguishing the player is a unique LED-lit design: the keypad and the onscreen interface are switchable to any one of six colors depending on the user's tastes at a given moment. The device also delivers extra room for its MPEG-4 videos and MP3/WMA songs than most flash-based players by offering a miniSD card slot for growing storage beyond the 4GB built into the player from the outset.
The electronics maker also promises several of the features often seen in competing hardware, such as FM radio with a capture mode, voice recording, and a battery life of 20 hours.
Availability and pricing are currently unknown but should include a North American release. Every unit, however, will come preloaded with 100 songs from newer artists as a way to help listeners discover new music. [via Everything USB]
