The MP3 Players

Apple has the world smallest flash-based DAP, the Korean iRiverehas the world smallest DAP with color display. Now, the Japanese Kenwood claims that their new Media Keg HD10GB7 is the world smallest HDD-based DAP!

The new HD10GB7 features a 10GB HDD (probably 1″) in a 62 x 44 x 17mm body. It weights only 78g. Like its big brother, HD30GB9, it features the company patented Supreme EX audio effects. It supports Microsoft’s WMA DRM10 audio and Napstere To Go service. Well, it is kinda pricey, about 40000 Yen (approx US$345) for a 10GB DAP.
