Jun 28, 2005 MP3 Players, Others Players

Even thought it has a Shuffle-alike design, the LG USB.MP3 can be more than an iPod Shuffle. It can play MP3, WMA, ASF and Ogg Vorbis formatted musics and supports USB 2.0. It can play up to 10 hours per battery charges.

The model is expected to be release on the end of August, at the price of 80,000 Won (Approx US$79) for 512MB version and 110,000 Won (Approx US$109) for 1GB version.

Very similar to iPod Shuffle huh?
