We've seen some new LG stuff during last monht's
IFA already; currently, there's a large fair called the "KES" going on in South Korea - home to many DAP/PMP makers, including LG Electronics. Pictured below is their latest gizmet/gadmo ("gizmo" + "gadget" or vice versa), the "FM37". Or, as it's officially designated, the "&FM37" (the little "&"-thingy acts as a product logo and a product name at the same time).
It's more or less a continuation of LG's FM3x-series concept, meaning that there's a nice little (2.4-inch) color screen in there as well as a reasonable amount of flash memory (4GB) - all of this will run for about 20 (audio) / 5 (video) hours per battery charge. Note that LG has thrown in a bit of a "less is more" look, so the FM37 looks all clean and nice and stuff - there are no controls to clutter the front palet with. Seems as if the device can be operated by means of a touch-based system.
At 90 x 51.5 x 10.4mm, this thing is neither huge nor ultra-supadupa-compact (Meizu M6 measures 79 x 48.2 x 10mm, for instance). Apparently, LG has fit a number of additional features like eBook reading and DMB-compliance into the slick-looking shell as well. There's also talk of something "XD"; I'm not sure if that's a referral to possible XD card-expansion or not, but whatever.

A blank surface is not good. It implies waste or incompleteness. It makes me wonder if the player will insert 3 seconds of silence between each song to maintain consistency.
