NextWay's sub-brand-thingy "dCube" has come up with some really slick players in the past - the most important one probably being the NMP-612-model. Kind of like a flash version of the iPod, back then (no, not as skimpy as the current Shuffle).
 | | Anyway, they've attempted to go for larger storage capacities now, by introducing the "NHD-250D". A very smooth black box with rounded corners. Still, one thing bugs me: the screen. Isn't that way too small to keep up with direct competitors? Obviously this unit was meant to take on the iPod v4, although it does come with e.g. FM tuner, but with a screen of that size... I don't know. Controls look rather weirdish to me as well. Anyway, we'll see what becomes of all of this - it certainly does have some potential. Unfortunately, the really important SRP & dimensions specifications are not known yet.

- Connects and recharges through USB2.0

I wonder if it is:
MSC, drag and drop, self-profiling, with true shuffle and in-track resume? If so, it may be the 60gb player I've been waiting for for SO long...
These are always the key specs for me, dunno about others.
