Tomato juices out tunes

Tomato from Korea has recently launched its slim portable media player known as the U24. This diminutive player comes with a 2.4″ LCD display that boasts 260,000 colors, supports AVI video and MP3 formats, and comes with a voice recorder and e-book functionality (presumably simple text files only and not PDF). Available in 2GB and 4GB capacities which retail for $85 and $110 respectively, the Tomato U24 also has a miniSD memory card slot for expansion options. Battery life is pretty “meh” at 15 hours for music playback. Looks like another run-of-the-mill portable media player. Hopefully the user interface isn’t as convoluted and confusing as those from China.
