"Panasonic's SV-SD870N isn't the longest lasting DAP we've ever laid eyes upon, but few would find the courage to kvetch over 100 hours on a full charge. The latest in Panasonic's D-snap lineup, this unit promises to cut out "83-percent" of surrounding noise (and a good chunk of battery life) at the press of a button and supports SD / SDHC cards along with direct recording if plugged into a D-dock device. Furthermore, this one is set to arrive in red, black, silver, blue and white motifs, come stocked with a 2GB SD card, boast USB 2.0 connectivity and play nice with AAC, WMA and MP3 file formats. Quite frankly, we're still a little turned off by that interface, but those unconcerned with such matters can slip one in their pocket next month."

No word on pricing, but since it appears to only work off of SD cards, it better be cheap. Although it has great battery life, it seems a little big for something with no internal memory.
