Still, totally useless on the go, of course. Colorful/Colorfly seems to be a Chinese joint as well, with a German distributor, but I’m not sure. Seems they usually sell PC graphic cards. Comments

Some realistic news via GenerationMP3 ( Google translation ). – With an 1.8″ HDD it might compete with the iPod Classic, and the other very, very few players still left that give 100+GB of data storage (most of which aren’t any good anyways). Not a bad move, for some people’s needs. Also rumored is that it will run on Android. After all theses years of speculations, dating back to 2007 – here , here , and here . And of course our very own Cowon X7 mockup from the “Photoshop A Fake” contest. (Pictured) Make us proud, Cowon – your iAudio X5 HDD player heritage is quite legendary, just like the iriver H100/300, or the Creative Zen Vision:M. Comments
