We will be announcing our new iofy player at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas on January 7, 2008. We've been working on this player for a long time and I'm very proud of it - we've responded to just about every request for new features from our previous player, including USB, MP3 support, better navigation, better audio quality - the list goes on and on. Of course, it does a great job playing audiobooks on SD cards, but now you'll be able to make your own chips, upgrade firmware and search in audio using tag clouds like this. Stay tuned for more!
We'll be announcing the new player with our hardware partner, GeneralPlus, a division of Sunplus, the manufacturer whose processors power many low cost consumer electronics and smart toys. (Remember the Furby? That's them.)
The CES is a great show - reminds me of my favorite quote from William Gibson: "The future is already here - it is just unevenly distributed." There are always new companies showing devices that feel like visitors from a place a little further down the road.
