 Toshiba gigabeat MP3 player : Toshiba’s Digital Products Division expanded its portfolio of mobile technologies with the gigabeat MP3 player. Toshiba’s gigabeat U-Series is a freshly designed digital music player with direct-to-MP3 player music ripping technology, FM tuner and radio recorder. Every gigabeat U-Series MP3 player is equipped with a 2GB NAND flash drive, providing ample space for storing nearly 500 songs and 2,000 photos. Additionally, users can conveniently transfer songs from CDs directly to the gigabeat U-Series through its line-in headphone jack. As a result, users who are away from a computer can still transfer music without having to first copy it onto a computer by ripping it directly into the gigabeat.

It’s the perfect straight-forward device for users who are looking for a way to take their favorite songs with them everywhere,” said Jeff Barney, vice president of marketing, Digital Products Division, Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc. “And beyond being easy to use, it’s aesthetically beautiful.”
