It is almost a year since we previewed the StormBlue A9+ portable media player, and it is finally released in the market. To recap, the StormBlue A9+ looks more like a cellphone than anything else, featuring a 2″ 262k color display, support for MP3, Ogg, WMA, WMA DRM, and MPEG 4 audio and video formats, bundled software which converts WMV, AVI, ASF and other formats over to MPEG 4, an integrated FM tuner, and a Bluetooth radio. The A9+ has a battery life of 11 hours when it comes to video and 39 hours when music is involved. Unlike our previously reported specs, StormBlue’s A9+ comes with 2GB and 4GB configurations which retail for £109 and £149 respectively. You can increase the storage size by throwing in your very own SD memory card. More specs are available after the jump.
