JVC is well known for its electronic products and their exceptional sound quality. It has decided to expand its lineup and has rolled out an Alneo lineup of MP3 players with the C series. Their were no special features that I could find in these DAP’s except for their sleek shape and impressive dimensions of 86�44�11.7mm. These small DAP’s weights just 49 grams and feature a 1.27 inch wide display support 65,536 colors, a support for MP3, WMA, WAV and AAC files, an FM tuner that can also record it. The most astonishing thing is that the video playback function is missing that places the product in the category of handicap products. Still if you are willing to buy it it can entertain you for 19.5 hours with its Lithium Ion battery and can be connected to the host via an inbuilt USB port. The player will hit the market in February with three different capacities of 512MB, 1GB and 2GB. I don’t think I am going for it. what about you? Via: newlaunches
