HandHeld Entertainment announced today that its ZVUE MP3 player would be available tomorrow on shelves at selected Wal-Mart and InMotion stores. The player is the size of a flash drive and has 512MB storgage. It can play both MP3 and WAV and can achieve about eight hours of of play on a single AAA battery.
While the player isn’t particularly notable by itself, it achieves some relevance with the fact that it comes preloaded with many MP3s. Like Microsoft’s Zune, the ZVUE will offer a full multimedia experience right out of the box.
The songs are questionable, but I suppose they’re standard top 100 fodder:
Anna Nalick “Breathe (2 a.m.)”
Audioslave “Original Fire”
Beyonce “déjà vu” “Check On It”
Bow Wow “Fresh AZIMIZ”
