Remember the iAudio M3? “Not an iPod; don’t care” you say? A quick refresher – slimline Korean MP3 audio player with 20GB hard drive.
It just may be time to start complaining to Apple about your iPod’s battery life. Korea’s Cowon Systems has introduced the “iAudio M3L,” which is the same thing as the iAudio M3 but with a pretty beefy 35 hour battery life. It may not beat the 220 hour battery life of Panasonic’s new MP3/CD player, but 35 hours is almost double anything I’ve seen on other hard drive-based MP3 players.
Those who know the iAudio M3 probably also know that this player had a pretty slim design, coming in at 14.2mm. You’ll be slightly miffed to hear that with this increased battery has also come an increased thickness; the player is now 18.2mm thick. The iAudio M3 is 14.2mm thick. More than twice the battery life in four more millimeters? I await the 5G iPods, Apple.
