FL300 is World’s Smallest MP3 Player
MPIO, a leading global brand of portable audio devices, today launched two of its new MP3 player models in the market, representing the latest in digital fashion, convenience and portable audio technology that’s ideally suited for Thai music lovers with active lifestyles.
The world’s smallest MP3 player, MPIO FL300, represents a whole new category in fashion design for portable digital devices. The ‘All-in-one’ FG100 has a classic-looking and award winning ‘boom-box’ design that includes a MP3 player, FM tuner, voice recorder and data storage.
Mr. JK Woo, President & CEO of MPIO, said: “MPIO has positioned itself as the global leader for portable audio devices, where our MP3 players have become as much a digital fashion accessory as the are a portable audio player. MPIO’s superior functions and reliability are standard for our products — and both the MPIO FL300 & FG100 will also appeal to Thai consumers as a digital fashion accessory.”
MPIO FL300
The sleek and stylish MPIO FL300 is the world’s smallest MP3 player, measuring just 30 x 50 x 12.8mm and weighing only 28g. No bigger than a credit card, this trendy device comes in three attractive and rich shades of red, blue and violet — and is designed to be worn around the neck as a digital fashion accessory!
The cleverly designed earphones are connected with the necklace-like strap to prevent it from tangling, so users can comfortably enjoy music, even while jogging.
Unlike ordinary MP3 players, the MPIO FL300 is copper-coated with chrome, with a multi-mirror coated front panel and white LED backlight, which gives it a luxurious and elegant look that matches well with any clothing outfit.
MPIO FL300 comes with built-in rechargeable Lithium-Polymer battery, which can be easily recharged using a computers’ USB port. Just one hour of recharging allows for playback time of up to 10 hours. It also offers 6 Mode preset EQ, 1 user defined EQ and Philips Sound Effect, which is famous for its signature sound quality, deep bass and 3D sound effects.
The MPIO FL300 can also be used as a voice recorder, with a built-in MIC that allows users to record more than 8 hours of voice or music. The FL300 also features a clock and alarm functions.
Its UMS (USB Mass Storage) function allows users to store and carry any kind of file in three different capacities — 128Mb, 256MB and 512MB.
MPIO FG100
The MPIO FG100 is a full function, ‘All-in-One’ device, featuring a MP3 player, FM tuner, voice recorder and data storage. Its award-winning ‘boom-box’ design is 31 x 82 x 28.5mm and weighs just 40.5g.
It’s available in three different, bold colors — red, silver and black, and its UMS (USB Mass Storage) function allows users to store and carry any kind of file in three different capacities — 256MB, 512MB and 1GB.
The MPIO FG100 boasts a long playback time of up to 43 hours using 1 AA batteries. It has an ultra high output power (18mW) with stereo earphones, and an extremely fast transfer rate of 40Mbps using a USB 2.0 interface. Noiseless high quality music files can be created using an ‘optical line-in’ function, which has traditionally only been used for high-end audio devices such as MD.
The MPIO FG100 features a dual-area, 4-line sapphire-blue colored OLED display that automatically adjusts its brightness using a special ‘Human Eye’ sensor. The power, menu, jog-dial, hold and function buttons are all as eye-catching as they are easy-to-use. And, the signature sound quality of its Philips Sound Effect and six-mode EQ offers a rich, deep bass and dynamic surround sound.
The MPIO FG100 can be used as a voice recorder with a built-in MIC that can record more than 8 hours of voice and music. An integrated FM tuner allows any radio station to be preset, and even recorded.
