TEAC MP-600 media player
Better known for its receivers and speakers, TEAC is nevertheless pushing farther into the "entry-level" media player market with the MP-600. It comes in 1, 2 and 4GB capacities, with an SD/MMC slot permitting expansion. File formats are limited to JPEG photos, XviD movies, and MP3 or WMA/WMA-DRM audio; this is however compensated for, somewhat, by the presence of an FM radio with recording functions. And unlike many low-end players, the 600 has a 3.5-inch screen, an e-book reader, and a copy of Tetris. Battery life is 10 hours for music or 5.5 for video. A 4GB player is now on sale in Germany for €169 ($230). [via Anything But iPod]
