If you check out this press release showing off Synaptics’ new LightTouch capacitive interface solution—a system that lets you run your fingers over buttons like they were all part of a larger scroll pad—you’ll also be able to pick up that LG is going to announce a new hard disk-based music player, the LG JM50. It just so happens that Synaptics gives us all the details of the 5GB player, which will support:
FM radio and recording, voice recording and line-input recording that supports MP3, WMA, and OGG formats. The JM50 also boasts a battery life of approximately 10 hours and will be available in March 2005 in Korea, China, Taiwan, Europe and surrounding areas.
Wouldn’t that make the surrounding areas, like, the rest of the world? If you’ve got a snap of the JM50, send it in. It sounds like an interesting player. (Thanks, Joshua!)
