Welcome to the King Kong Player

You might think that we are talking about a huge player, but no, we are talking about a special edition of Toshiba's Gigabeat MP3 player. The bad news is that it will be available only in Japan for now.

Like the regular edition, the player has a 20 GB capacity with a 1.8' hard drive. The Gigabeat player can play WMA (Windows Media Audio Files) and MP3 files. The display is a 2.4' QVGA one with a resolution of 240X320. The sound enhancement technology used is SRS WOW, which offers virtual surround sound. The Gigabeat weighs 134 grams and connects to a PC via USB 2.0/USB 1.1.

The special edition brings to Toshiba's Gigabeat a King Kong engraving on the back, a King Kong themed Cardboard Box and comes preinstalled with five King Kong wallpapers.

The player will be available for preorder on the producer's site, by the time the King Kong movie is launched, in late November. There will be limited amount of the special edition player, only 1000 players being put on sale.
