LG UP3Flat hits back at Shuffle

Could Apple's low capacity iPods finally face a competitor that is worthy enough to cannibalize its sales? Although Apple does have a more than healthy lead in the portable MP3 player market, its position on the lower tier of products could be threatened with the LG UP3Flat MP3 player that looks like the love child between an LG Chocolate cellphone and the 1G iPod Shuffle. Each UP3Flat comes with a retractable USB connector that makes it all the more desirable. Different capacities will be available, ranging from 512MB up to 2GB while battery life is rated at approximately 10 hours. There is still no word on pricing and availability of this fingerprint magnet.
