With only 2GB of storage and a 1.5-inch screen, no one would mistake Newman’s Nunu X05 PMP as anything other than a fashion statement. But what a fashion statement, if this cheap MP3 player really will look like this when it hits store shelves. 1.5-inch screen 78.8mm × 39.7mm × 7.4mm AMV video WMA, MP3, APE voice recorder 2GB for 199 [...]
