SSI Computer is a Taiwanese company which has produced the above MP3
player, entitled the Neo 25. SSI are more likely known for their NEO
35 jukebox with drops into an empty stereo bay in just about any car -
filling that MP3 need for the traveler. With this prototype, SSI has
chosen to abandon the traditional Flash based memory system and rely upon a
6GB IBM Travelstar 2.5" hard drive. A 3.6V 1500mAh Lithium-Ion battery
gives the unit approximately 6 hours of continuous use according to the
company. Rounding off the features of this 255g unit, are a backlit LCD
display, USB interface for data transfers from the PC, and an Infra Red
remote control. |
