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.

I just couldn’t understand why the automobile giants had made such decision. It has nothing special except the name Mercedes Benz!

Kenwood introduces M1GA3 MP3 Player, 1GB versions of their MP3 player line that they introduced in Japan earlier this year.

The Kenwood players are believed that were OEMed from Creative (DMP FX120). Kenwood just has a really big brand and is able to string a high audio quality story around this rather average mp3 player in Japan. Another theory would be that they further developed the Creative DMP FX120 to make it better.

The new Kenwood M1GA3 comes in white, blue and light blue. The features include:

• MP3 and WMA file support
• USB 2.0
• 32 hours battery life
• FM-Tuner
