Toshiba Announces Gigabeat P10K, P20K

All eyes and ears are on the high-profile Microsoft Zune media player which launches today, but Toshiba, who incidentally happen to be the original manufacturer of the Zune, have also announced new products in their Gigabeat P-series.

The P-series are flash memory-based products like the iPod Nano and the SanDisk Sansa. The new ones Toshiba is announcing are the P10K and the P20k, in sizes of 1 GB and 2 GB respectively. The new media players come with a 1.1-inch color OLED screen, support for MP3s, WMA, WAVs along with PlaysForSure DRM, an FM radio tuner and recording features. The 1GB P10K comes in white and pretty pink, while the 2GB P20K comes only in a sober white, but both have interchangeable face plates. There are yellow colored P-series displayed on the website, but I can't read Japanese so...

The players are expected to be released by December, retailing for around Rs 5,474 for the 1 GB P10K and Rs 7,000 for the 2 GB P20K (converted prices).
