Packard Bell FOUR NEW FLASH AND MINI-HDD MODELS
Packard Bell, a world leader in home PCs, which is expanding in the rapidly maturing Middle East market, announces in a major move an exciting range of exceptional digital technologies for everyday users.
Four impressive new digital music players, including 1 mini-HDD player and three flash memory players, one specially designed for children, have been introduced for music fans on the move, in a product range aimed at a new computer savvy Middle East generation.
Pocket M@estro: capacity to go
Designed for digital music fanatics who want the very best, the Pocket M@estro packs a gigantic 5GB of storage capacity into a sleek, compact design. It is also available in a 2.5GB version. Slightly larger than a credit card, the Pocket M@estro can hold up to 1,500 tracks (WMA format) and features intuitive music navigation. It also comes with a built-in FM tuner/recorder and voice recorder. Loading that much music is fast and easy, thanks to the Hi-Speed USB 2.0 port, while the rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to around 7 hours of non-stop listening pleasure. The 5GB version also comes with an easily readable OLED display and built-in real-time MP3 encoding. The Pocket M@estro will be available in September.
AudioDream: a flash of class
A musical gem, the AudioDream is a digital music player and fashion statement all rolled into one. Beneath its ultra slim, aluminum exterior resides a powerful flash memory music player capable of holding up to 8 hours of music (WMA format). Light enough to be worn around the neck and small enough to fit into any pocket or purse, its copious list of features also includes a dazzling OLED display with ID3 TAG support, 5 equalizer presets, a built-in FM tuner/recorder and voice recorder. Its rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery provides up to hours of nonstop playback.

For younger listeners, and highly affordable, LilyBell is a flash USB storage drive and digital music player. It offers children a convenient and trendy way of carrying around computer files and listening to digital music. Shaped like a ladybird, it is designed to fit comfortably into a child’s hand. The ladybird’s black spots are the control buttons. Available with 64 and 128MB of storage, it can hold up to 4 hours of music (WMA).
