Well this is good news! It seems you can now get your hands on the S9 MP3 player from Cowon with a 32GB capacity on Amazon. And this comes just a few days after the device’s announcement in South Korea.

Creative announced a brand new audio player today that adds an entry-level offering to their line up called the ZEN MX. This player is in keeping with the company’s current ZEN line up, but offers a few changes that are worth noting.

Perhaps if I were Korean I’d understand this a little better, but a rabbit with a hugely bloated cranium just isn’t the sort of thing I’d think to base an MP3 player on. Still, Mashimaro is vaunted as Korea’s answer to Hello Kitty, so I suppose there must be thousands of girls there desperate for this 54 x 38 x 38mm media player.

Sony gave their entire USB Walkman E-Series line an update today, giving the PMPs a new look and a new model, to boot. The new model is actually an 8GB Walkman called the NW-E044 and it makes for the highest capacity in the line thus far.

In Partnership with Speedo, iRiver created the LZR Racer Aquabeat – an MP3 player that operates underwater for up to 3-meter deep.
The player comes with 2GB of internal storage and supports MP3 and WMA file formats.

It is available in Japan for 12,800 yen (roughly $150).

As lust-inducing modernized versions of classic German audio hardware go, this ReBraun MP3 player from Bootleg Objects is at the top of its game. Based on the 1962 Audio 1 Kompaktanlage, the ReBraun swaps the radio gauges for twin LCD displays, plus there’s WiFi for audio streaming.

Accelerometers are found in all manner of cellphones and mobile devices nowadays, usually responsible for flipping screen orientation from vertical to horizontal when you want a widescreen view of a webpage. However that’s not all they’re good for, as this DIY motion-controlled MP3 player demonstrates. The work of an unnamed Japanese engineer, different motions – such as tilting, tapping and rotating – translate to controls such as play, pause, track skipping and volume control.

Newman has not given up on cloning some of the most popular electronics on the market. Unlike many companies the cloning is not limited to just Apple products. This time is appears that the iPod Nano was the victim with the cleverly designed A1.

LG has managed to stay a bit behind when it comes to personal media players (PMP). The newest of these devices from LG, the UP3 Touch DAP, very closely resembles the UP3 that was released back in 2006. Just how do they manage to do it with such strong competitors and much larger names?
