Jens Of Sweden MP3 Player With OLED, Ogg

Posted by timothy on from the hand-candy dept.

rune-bare-rune writes "Gadget manufacturer Jens of Sweden launches a nice-looking MP3 player with an unusual OLED display that doubles as a mirror. Supports MP3, WMA and OGG Vorbis. And as a few other really small players it handles the USB connection nicely."

  1. Likely to be pretty expensive by phatsharpie · · Score: 4, Informative

    Hammacher Schlemmer, the listed reseller of Jens of Sweden's product in the US, has one of the older models - the MP110 - for $249.95 with 256MB of storage.

    I would think this model, the MP130, would be at least as expensive, but likely more.

    No, they could have called it USB 2.0 FULL SPEED. Not high speed. High speed IS 480mbps, full speed is 12mbps or something

  3. Not made in sweden. by shikra · · Score: 4, Informative

    Would be good if the player is actually made and designed in Sweden. Too bad it's not. Fact is, the flash-based MP3 player market is largely dominated by the koreans.

  4. It Ain't Vapor; It's IOPS by kjoonlee · · Score: 4, Informative

    IOPS players have been on sale in Korea for some time now.

    You are way out of date. I use a Transcend 256MB 30x CF card with my camera and it transfers several times quicker over a USB2 connection than a USB1 connection. I bought it 9 months ago, today Transcend's cards are 45x. Kingston's Elite Pro range transfer at 5.2MB per second, well over 3 times USB1.1's 12Mbps. SanDisk's Ultra II CF cards claim a minimum sustained write speed of 9MBps. That's megabytes not megabits.

  6. True, OLED==OEL by kjoonlee · · Score: 4, Informative

    The IEC TC 110 WG/4 recently agreed in April 2004 to call them all OLED now. Here's a news report, in Korean. I can't find any links in English though.

    Sorry but the JoS MP-130 is actually a rebranded IOPS MPF-350 (from the MPF-300 series)
