Another music phone that has a control structure conspicuously like the iPod—who would have thought?. The Asus J206 has the iPod click-wheel interface copied, right down to the icons and placement. It has MP3/AAC/WAV support with 12 hours of playback time. 60 MB of internal memory and a microSD slot allows you to put up to 2 GB of music on the phone.
This is a slider phone, with USB connectivity and a headphone jack built right in. Bundled with the phone is “Music Manager”, an iTunes like music syncing program. We don’t know whether the phone will be available with English menus for importing, but if you can read Chinese then you’re set.
No availability or pricing yet, but there’s going to be an even newer model of this released in Q3 2006, so we expect this one to be out soon.
