Panasonic introduced a few portable audio players yesterday that we forgot to mention (although they leaked way back in October), in the "D-snap Audio" line. We'll start with the "SV-SD100V" and "SV-SD90" square-shaped players with SD card slot (and only an SD card slot). They also have a mirrored organic EL display, and compatibility with MP3, WMA and AAC. In fact, the SV-SD100V throws in an FM tuner and voice recorder.

Also announced were the "SV-MP720V" and "SV-MP730V." Their interesting "two block" design actually won Panasonic a design award. The two units vary only in capacity, color variations and price. Both are MP3 and WMA compatible and have an FM tuner/voice recorder you probably won't ever use. A sort of disappointing 10-hour battery life on these.
