Brando comes clean with Soap media player details

It's called Soap. It looks like a bar of soap. Sort of. It's an iPod Nano wannabe. It's Hong Kong gadget maker Brando's latest media player. There's 2GB of song and video storage on board, an FM tuner, a bright 1.8in, 65,535-colour OLED screen and a clickwheel-like controller.

Brando offers the 45g, 7.5 x 3.9 x 0.8cm device in black and white versions. Soap's capable of playing all the usual music formats along with MPEG 4 for video. There's a voice-recording facility too.

Soap ships for $99 from Brando's website.
