Why come up with anything yourself if you can combine two of the most successful flash DAP concepts of them all into one package? Chinese Gacme - Generic Abbreviation for a Company Making Everything, or whatever - already ripped off Samsung's YP-F1 and Sony's NW-E4/5 series... so it was about time that they came up with something "original". And so, the GM-X600 saw the light of day. On the drawing board, that is... can't imagine this being real already.
The fine gentlemen over at Gacme chopped an iPod shuffle to bits and pieces, kept the navigation wheel and glued some cube-like player (we instantly associate anything resembling half a cube with MobiBlu's DAH-1500 for no reason, such an unfair world it is) on top of it - tadaaa... another DAP in the bank.
This thing supposedly has the following features: MP3 / WMA / WAV support, Voice recording, Built-in FM tuner + recorder, USB2.0 mass storage compliance, OLED display: 2 colors (right... now look at that picture... uuuh, does not compute), resolution: 128 x 64, Built-in flash memory capacity: 128M / 256M / 512M / 1G, Playback time per charge: over 7 hours, Weight: 32g (including battery).
Sounds like a worthless battery performance to us. Not that it's very likely that any of us will ever encounter one of these things in person, but it kept both you and ourselves busy for another 21 seconds, didn't it?

Aguh why arent they dead?! I thought the memory price and supply crunch, (because of the nano) destroyed the kind of companies that make daps like this?!
