Haier Rhapsody Ibiza

The Rhapsody Ibiza by Haier takes its cues from the Amazon Kindle, providing a portable media player that does not require a computer for downloading information, but rather uses a WiFi connection that allows you to download directly from companion services Rhapsody.com (for music) and AOL.com (for video). The player comes in 2 formats: a harddrive version that has a 30G capacity and a flash-based version with a 4G or 8G capacity. The player has an impressive feature set, taking a shot at all aspects of the market including: a web browser, stereo audio streaming via Bluetooh (for the 30G version only), ability to download music, videos and podcasts, and internet radio through the Rhapsody website.
