Ixing TM-M1

Ixing TM-M1It seems like now-a-days, media players and cell phones are either really ugly (read Zune) or an iPhone copycat. It takes a small company in Korea to show up all the big, billion-dollar players how to make a device that has better features AND look different yet hot. That is what the Ixing TM-M1 represents.

Here are the specs:
- 1, 2, and 4GB memory
- 10-hour battery with 2-hour charge
- 1.5-inch, 65k color OLED
- 5.6 mm slim
- Aluminum casing
- Touch sensitive controls
- Plays music
- Reads MJPEG and JPEG
- FM tuner and recorder
- Voice recorder
- Text viewer

As you can see, the TM-M1 is 0.9 mm thinner than the Nano. It will cost between $80 to $150 USB depending on memory capacity.
