The i-Station V.43

This monster of a Personal Media Player can perform a whole slew of functions. It features a 4.3 inch LCD (16K colors), weighs 320 grams (including battery), plays video for 8 hours continuously (MPEG 1/2/4, WMV 7/8/9, XVID, DivX supported) & 15 hours for audio (mp3, WMA, ac3, wav, and ogg supported), picture support (jpeg, bmp, png), TV-out, subtitle (srt and smi files) & lyric display compatible, USB Host, FM Radio, Voice Recorder, dictionary, car navigation, alarm, stop watch, clock, calendar, and Janus DRM support (for subscription based Music services like Napster to Go). It also has the ability to listen to Music or the FM Radio while using the Dictionary, File Viewer, Navigation, and Photo Viewer. Damn, its like the Jack of Trades (is that right?), respectively. Its a really slick player in both the looks department and performance-wise. It can also display PDF’s, Excel files, and PowerPoint Presentations for those who use this stuff on a daily basis or anyone else who utilizes these programs. It recharges in about 4 hours average. No Official release date for the states but its suppose to retail for about $491, give or take about a couple of dollars. They claim they will be able to compete with the PSP but that really remains to be seen which I doubt because the PSP has major leverage with an already built consumer base and the ability to play comprehensive video games.
