256MB MP3 Player With Speakers
Posted by Suhit Gupta in "HARDWARE" @ 10:00 AM
The Green House corporation has created a 256 MB MP3 player model that will feature a built in speaker. This will player will be available starting late April, though apparently in Japan only.
In addition to the 256MB model, they also have a 128MB model. Both models feature a built in FM tuner, sound recording, real time MP3 encoding and ID3 tag parsing. The speaker is available only in the 256MB model.
I am not really sure whether I like the concept of a speaker built into an MP3 device. While traveling in the subway or riding the elevator, I sometimes find it annoying when people have their MP3 player volumes cranked up all the way so you can hear the tunes through the ear buds. With a real speaker in the device, it may become incessant.
