Pasen’s iTouch SE is a major design leap from the original iTouch, which many observers agree is a clone of the iPod Touch. Though iTouch SE has suffered a cutback on the screen area from 3.5 inches to 2.83 inches as well as fattened up considerably from a thin 8mm to a substantial 12.5mm we have to give Pasen credit for this clean enamel-finish PMP. The SE’s interface, as the video clearly shows, disappoints in many areas. Most importantly, it’s the stylus input that turns us off this otherwise fashionable media players. Come on, do they really expect users to pull out a stylus just to play MP3 tunes?

Pasen’s iTouch SE supports the following media formats: AVI, XviD, DivX, MP3, WMA, APE, FLAC, JPEG, BMP, TXT. Any player this useful should get a second look at least, so we’ll wait till Pasen slaps an official MSRP on the iTouch SE before we give you our final verdict.

Update:  Good news, our contact from Pasen (see comment below) says stylus is optional and finger input is very possible.
