Featured in E-Gear Magazine is this new product which boasts not just being another 20 gig MP3 player but also allows for downloading of content from music sites via local Wi-Fi hot spots. It also has a built in FM modulator which allows it to be played through the car sound system or home radio tuner.

The ipod competition heats up. Also, on the cover of the magazine is the Creative Zen portable media center boasting video, music, pictures etc and another review of 5 other ipod killers...a competitor for the KINO platform, or so it seems.

The Tao is made by giant international and here is there comment on the player...

Hi xxxx:

Colleen forwarded your request for information to me.

The Tao WMP [new name stands for Wireless Media Player] will scheduled to ship in July. Giant’s design engineers are working with folks from SoniqCast who originated the concept.

If you are a member of the press, eval units should be available next month.

Thank you for your interest,
