Pictured above is a bit of good news in the shadow of LG's market pummeling this morning. That's the official graduation photo of LG's new 10.4-mm thin FM37
(AKA, the &37) digital media player. It packs 2GB (249,000KRW / $266) or 4GB (299,000KRW / $320) of storage, support for MP3/WMA/OGG playback and e-Books, enough battery for up to 24-hours of audio or 3-hours of unspecified video, and a "Mobile XD Engine" for supposedly improved picture quality on that 2.4-inch TFT LCD touch display -- that's right,
touch. After the ballyhooed launches of the
KE850 and
iPhone, could it be any different? Also announced is the Mini Muvi FM33 followup to the
FM35 DMB and MP3 player released in May. It squeezes in 1GB/2GB/4GB of flash and a 1.77-inch TFT LCD into a 42 x 70.5 x 12.5-mm audio player for 149,000KRW ($159), 179,000KRW ($192), and 239,000KRW ($256), respectively. Bringing up the rear is the do all, Music&Movie DMB T50 which brings either 1GB or 2GBs of audio and video capacity in addition to that sweet, mind-numbing, tiny TV ache for 189,000KRW ($202) or 249,000KRW ($266). Pics of the others after the break.
Update:
CDPkorea has a more details on the FM37 along with tons of pics. We now know that the 63-gram FM37 packs an FM tuner, a QVGA 320 x 240 display, and support for AVI and WMV video formats. Check the gallery for all the pics.

I believe we are now in an era where gadget screens are now touch screen. One small step towards the glass board found in minority report

Damn Apple! See what you started? Why do I want a touch screen MP3 player? There's no tactile feedback and they tend to get dirty really quick. AAAHHH!

Is this the same company that designed the LG's KE850 PRADA phone? What happened?

No tactile feedback and the constant need to look at a glowy screen. Excellent.
Brian @ Jan 23rd 2007 12:28PM
kinda resembles the first iriver Clix, just all metal and touch-screen like.
I still would buy the clix 2 over this though...

Apple did not started touchscreen, though. When LG launched touchscreen mp3, it doesn't mean they developed touchscreen mp3 player in 2 weeks. Anyways it seems Apple made touch screen look better and trendier, I admit. What a great marketer Steve Jobs is!!!

"No tactile feedback and the constant need to look at a glowy screen. Excellent."
The Cowon D2 has a no tactile feedback touchscreen and people who own them seem to love it. Are you allergic to touch screens or are you just angry that your favorite DAP company doesn't offer it and posting out of envy?
