Napster is typically known for their subscription service, but yesterday they announced the release of a new Napster branded player. It's a 1GB player, and will have a color screen. The design looks nice and simple and will offer the following: 1GB Capacity Supported File Formats: MP3, WMA, WAV, MPEG4 (video) , JPEG (Photo) Navigation: Robust Menu navigation including - Artist, Album, Track, Title, Genre, Playlist Equalizer Settings: User adjusted, Pop, Classical, Jazz, Rock, Normal Integrated FM radio tuner Battery: Li-Polymer rechargeable battery (max playing time of 35 hours - MP3, 128 kbps) Dimensions: 1.6 in × 3.15 in × .5 in $119.95 Retail

Video playback and 35 hours of battery life, Nice!. Comparing this player to the competition, the only thing it's lacking is a higher capacity. A Napster subscription isn't required to use this player, but if you'd like to use it they have an offer for you.
