i’ve also seen this in some news they selling it on a gym/swimming cafeteria in a vending machine. packed inside the bottled water letting the people know its a waterproof mp3 player.
it would be great if they put an expandable MicroSD card slot. that would be awesome!
why only 4gb? they should make it at least 8GB or 16GB. right?
