XNINE's MMP X-500 includes a speaker -- and doesn't suck

Look, we're sorry, but we just don't get this whole built-in speaker fad. All that bulk, for what? It's not like anybody wants to hear what we're listening to anyways, and the speaker "fidelity" can hardly be termed thus. But if we were to rock such a superfluous speaker, we might give this XNINE MMP X-500 player a shot. The 1GB Korean DAP sports a decent looking 2.2-inch screen, microSD expansion, FM radio, voice recording, video playback and that silly ol' speaker -- without putting on too terribly much bulk in the process (13.2mm thick to be exact, 0.52-inches). We're also fairly impressed with the codec support on this little number, including AVI, DivX, XviD, MPEG, WMV, WMA, ASF and MP3. XNINE even packed in a few games for kicks. No word on price, and we're not expecting to see this thing in the States anytime soon, but at least we wouldn't mind seeing it on this side of Pacific.
