USB Key-Sized MP3 Player With LCD Display
nhahmada writes "The Muvo MP3 player/storage device from Creative has been out for awhile, but some have complained of its lack of a display or equalizer. Well, now Innogear has released the 128MB Duex mp302 with a backlit LCD supporting ID3 tags, a "multi-category" equalizer and a timer (Why?). The mp302 also has the ability to record/playback voice via its built-in microphone. It can be used for storing any type of file and plays MP3/WMA/WAV. Both the Muvo and mp302 run on one AAA, giving 12 hours of continuous playback. Running at $179, it's a little more expensive than the $169.99 128MB Muvo, but I am willing to shell out ten bucks for an LCD. Go here for a better look at the display."
LCD = Liquid Crystal Display. So that's Liquid Crystal Display Display.
From the department of redundancy department.
It's playing Jenifer Lopez? .. wtf. i'm not getting one
LCD Display means Lopez Can't Dance..... Display.
Saskboy's blog is good. 9 out of 10 dentists agree.
A discman that plays MP3 CDs, has a SW/FM/AM, LCD TV, decodes OGG, downloads with Wireless Ethernet or IEEE1394, and runs off a Hydrogen Fuel Cell. Until this device is available, I refuse to support the crappy home electronics industry.

This must be intended for that "active-geek" demographic coveted by marketers world wide (what is that....like 10 people?)
When tap into the "sedintary-geek" market and remove that pesky timer...thats when the big will start comin' in!
Holy crap, dude! This is amazing. The Muvo looks like that thing Spock used to have sticking out of his ear when he was at his science station on the bridge. Was he really working, or just listening to his Jimmy Eat World tracks?
Surpising that the author couldn't understand the reason for a timer. I would hazard the guess that he is a typical Linux Hippie, 50-60 lbs over weight. His primary exercise would be whining about Microsoft. Last time he raised his hands above his head would have been to search for some stray Cheese Doodles on the top shelf.
How can this comment be redundant when it was the first Vorbis post?
Same reason my blender has a clock.
People who disagree with you are not automatically evil, greedy, or stupid.
why not just put your phone on vibrate?...i personally want my phone to be a phone...
i agree 100% that convergence sucks where there's no good reason for it. i can't count the number of times i've accidentally put my vibrator on 'phone', and had to answer a call:
"Umm, hi, kind of busy right now, talk to you later."
And when the MP3 player's on too? even Barry White sounds odd...
