Gateway Says MOOve over iPod
Posted by Kent Pribbernow in "NEWS" @ 06:00 AM
Sorry, I couldn't resist using a shameless cow pun. :wink: Coming just on the heels of Apple's new iPod Photo launch, Gateway is announcing its own color screened MP3 player; the MP3 Photo Jukebox. Offering 4GB of storage and priced at $249, Gateway is targeting the iPod Mini here, with a new twist: a 1.6-inch, 128 x 128 pixel color display over the Mini's old school monochrome display. Looking slightly similar to the iPod with measurements of 3.8 x 2.3 x 0.7 inches at 3.4 ounces, the MP3 Photo Jukebox sports a bright colorful display for viewing photos and album art.
Overall there isn't much that would lure an iPod Mini user away from his tiny tunes, except for that nice little color display. And the Gateway brand name just speaks of excellence and brand recognition. :roll:
