LG Says ‘Touch Me’

If you haven’t already fallen for the iPod then there are plenty of other digital media players to choose from. LG has just launched its latest entrant in the portable video/MP3 player wars with the ‘Touch Me’ [MFFM37] player.

Measuring 51.5 x 90 x 10.4mm, it’s a neatly sized and good-looking player with a brushed aluminium finish and a touch-screen – a feature that is becoming increasingly popular.

It supports playback of a wide Lg_touchme variety of file formats, including MP3,WMA and OGG music files, BMP, JPEG, and GIF photo files and MPEG4, WMV, and H.264 video files. Videos can be displayed on the 2.4in LCD display with a resolution of 320×240 pixels. LG’s Mobile XD promises to boost picture quality by automatically adjusting colour, contrast and brightness. There’s also the 10EQ graphic equaliser with numerous presets.

It connects to the PC via USB 2.0 for file transfers and it has 4GB of memory, which is average but nothing to write home about. There’s no price or availability on this yet but you can see all the specs on LG’s site here.
