AOC V500, A Very Slim PMP

I’m not sure if what’s so alluring about this new PMP is really the device itself or the lovely image of Kiera Knightly used cleverly in this product shot. Nonetheless, this Chinese market AOC V500 is worth a glimpse with its super slim body, sleek styling, and 2.4-inch QVGA LCD. 

The device handles audio and video formats such as MP3, WMA, WAV, MPEG4 and AVI. It also supports JPEGs for picture viewing and connects via USB 2.0. However, nothing really that incredible here besides the 9.8mm thinness, which is pretty darn thin.

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.
