Tomato D-18 is Only 8.5mm

Mon, Dec 10, 2007

Hardware, Korea

tomato-d18-pmp2.jpg

What’s unbelievable about Tomato’s new device is not that it is 8.5mm thin, which is almost unbelievable, but what truly boggle the mind is that it uses a 1.8-inch Seagate HD with 60GB of storage capacity. Now, that is mind-boggling. The Korean manufacturer has come up with a very stylish device here encased in brush aluminum with pretty engravings in the corenr. The only problem is, we’re not seeing the screen anywhere in any of the photos at the PlayTomato site. Turns out the D18. Charges and syncs via USB.

Price: 99,000 Won ($107). Available in silver, black, blue, pink, orange, chartreuse. Withyummy colors like these, we can’t blame some sites mistaking the D18 for a media player.

    Peripherals: 8.5mm-Thick External HDD is Seriously Thin Says:

    [...] Even though solid state flash drives are quickly coming to take over for regular HDDs, there are still innovations to be had with our trust old platter drives. Take this Tomato D-18, for example, which is an external 60GB HDD that’s a mere third of an inch thick, enclosure included. Coming in a slick little case and not requiring external power, this wee HDD looks more like a PMP than an external drive. It’s available now for $107. [Product Page via PMP Today] [...]

    Okay, i am confused… no screen, number 1…
    Number 2? To-mato or Tomatoe? not sure if naming another brand after a fruit is a good idea… apple was created by hippies… we are past that time… something like “Skull” PMP players would be hot…

    Gizmodo ES : Tomato, reproductor multimedia con disco duro desafía el avance de las memorias Flash Says:

    [...] Otra de sus principales características es que no necesita alimentación externa, sino que carga y sincroniza a través del USB. La única duda que nos costará despejar hasta que avancemos con las clases de coreano es cómo funciona, pues no se ve pantalla alguna por ningún lado y tan sólo dos botoncitos para controlarlo. Igualmente, por un precio de 107$ (73€) no estaría nada mal como disco duro externo. Eduardo Lozano. [Tomato vía PMP Today] [...]
