The LDP-800 does it all, featuring an integrated FM Transmitter, FM Radio, voice recording, line-in recording, charge-over-USB, a built-in battery good for 14 hours playback, has an OLED screen and SD card slot, plus support for MP3, WMA, WMA DRM10/JANUS, and OGG codecs. Available at the end for March in 256mb (MSRP $ 160) and 512mb (MSRP $ 200) with higher capacities to follow later. Lots of good accessories come with it: MX400 earbuds, an external atanna, a case and lanyard in addition to the regular stuff. We'll point out that MX400 earbuds are one of the better models you can get, usually sell for $ 10 to $ 15 on thier own, and the bundled antanna is a nice touch.



The press release also mentions the player uses "Emersys EMX audio technology to provide a realistic 3-D sound stage while using 2-channel audio" ... whatever that means. Probably something like the SRS WOW effect used in iRiver and Samsung players. One other thing - apparently the FM transmitter function will not be available in European markets, likely due to strict laws that vary from country to country.
