Another sexy player for the all the music addicts out there! Still black, still smooth and curvaceous.

The Korean electronics manufacturer, Technonia, proudly announces its newest item, the Slimline DAP. It seems that the company didn't want to follow the latest trend of thin, glossy Mp3 players, and launched a 7.5mm thick Slimline player, which does more than you'd expect from something in its class and truly nothing you wouldn't like.

The capabilities include playing MP3 and WMV file formats, as well as video clips and music videos. Just imagine how nice it would be to share your favorite music videos whenever you go out with your friends.

The Korean manufacturers thought about everything and they even included an FM tuner to the recipe. So, whenever the user might get bored with the player's music, he/she can switch it on the radio and listen to the morning news.

The thick player is capable of displaying the images on a generous 1.5-inch OLED screen, using a graphical user interface while the storage capacity is of 1GB, just enough to store a couple of favorite music files. It also comes with an integrated photo browser, text reading, recording and other useful functions.

Other features include an image/text viewer, and portable data storage, not the mention the possibility of customizing the player's sound, with one of the 6 kinds of equalizer sounds.

The Technonia player is powered by a built-in Lithium polymer battery, which can be charged via USB port, as well as through a 24-pin charging cable.

I couldn't help but noticing the amazing resemblance between the player and one of MPIO's portable audio payers. It happened the same when they launched the IXING TM-S2 digital audio player which shared some design similarities with the iPod nano. Is it just a coincidence?

Anyway, if you want to take a closer look, or even buy the player, you should know that the price tag of the newest Technonia item is about 97 bucks a pop!
