New Gateway MP3 Photo Jukebox Provides More Storage for Music and
Photos and Longer Battery Life in Small, Lightweight Design Mini
MP3 Player Sports a Stylish New Look, Color Scheme IRVINE, Calif.,
May 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Gateway(TM) MP3 Photo Jukebox,
which combines digital music playback, convenient photo storage and
a color display in one 3.4 ounce device, will now be offered with
50 percent more storage capacity, longer battery life and a
striking new color scheme. It will be available directly from
Gateway and at leading electronics retailers for just $249.99.
"Gateway's digital music player was already a standout for its
versatility," said Dan Stevenson, vice president, product
marketing. "The new version of the Gateway MP3 Photo Jukebox
provides even more storage and enhanced features in the same light
design. Our new player combines one of the most straightforward
user interfaces with seamless PC music synchronization and
compatibility with a broad range of music services. It is simply
the perfect traveling companion for music lovers." The newest
model, the GCM-6, provides 6GB(1) of storage for housing up to
1,500 MP3 songs(2), putting a vast library of music favorites
always within reach. Sleek enough to fit within a pocket or purse,
the Gateway MP3 Photo Jukebox is about the size of a deck of cards
and weighs just 3.4 ounces. Its stylish new look includes an
attractive two-tone silver and black design. Unlike some other
popular MP3 players on the market, the Gateway MP3 Photo Jukebox
comes with a replaceable and rechargeable battery, which is a
significant advantage, since even rechargeable batteries are
perishable. The replaceable battery provides eight to ten hours of
continuous music playback on a single charge.(3) Simple Design --
Easy to Use The Gateway MP3 Photo Jukebox's design makes it easy to
use. Its large color screen displays photos, playlists and track
information in crystal clarity. The scroll makes navigation quick
and the accessing and managing of content simple. Stores Up to
2,000 Digital Photos As an added bonus, the Gateway MP3 Photo
Jukebox can store up to 2,000 digital photos, a handy feature for
vacation travelers who require back-up storage to their primary
camera. It can display digital photos one by one or in a slideshow
format, which is enhanced by the color screen. The transferring of
photos to the MP3 Photo Jukebox is simple as connecting the
included USB 2.0 cable between the jukebox and digital camera and
following the user prompts. Unlike other players on the market, it
can grab photos off cameras or flash cards without add-on interface
cards. Napster To Go -- Unlimited Access to Over a Million Songs
The Gateway MP3 Photo Jukebox comes ready to download music content
directly from a variety of industry standard sources including
Napster To Go which provides unlimited access to more than a
million songs for a modest monthly fee of just $14.95. With
purchase, Gateway customers that are new Napster members will get
the first three months of Napster to Go free.(4) While Gateway
customers can chose to listen to songs ripped from their CDs or
purchased per track online, they can also use Napster To Go to fill
their MP3 Photo Jukebox with the songs they want -- a real value
for those who prefer to sample new artists before purchasing
individual tracks or albums. Small Size; Big Sound The device
measures only 3.8in x 2.3in x 0.7in (L x W x D), yet it's big in
sound. The Gateway MP3 Photo Jukebox delivers rich sound in clear,
crisp high-fidelity. Music can be browsed by album, artist, genre,
track or playlist, while 20 different equalizer settings and
various modes such as shuffle and repeat enable users to tailor the
music mix to suit their own personal preferences. The Gateway MP3
Photo Jukebox includes Windows Media Player 10, which provides more
music and more choices to Gateway customers, such as built-in
access to a broad range of digital music services. Windows Media
Player 10 provides an Auto Sync feature that automatically
synchronizes customer's digital music collections and photos from a
PC to their new Gateway MP3 Photo Jukebox. Convenient Accessories
Maximize Listening Pleasure The Gateway Photo Jukebox works with a
wide range of portable music accessories including standard FM
transmitters such as the Belkin Tunecast II Mobile FM Transmitter,
so enthusiasts can enjoy their personal music library through any
FM stereo receiver whether it's in the car, via their PC or home
stereo. Suggested retail pricing is only $39.99. The Gateway
Belt/Armband Clip keeps the MP3 Photo Jukebox secure while users
are on the go. Built of lightweight, textured plastic for a more
secure fit around the waist or arm, it features a durable armband
that can be easily adjusted to fit most users. Suggested retail
pricing is only $19.99. A removable and rechargeable Gateway
replacement battery allows the user to determine how many
continuous hours of playtime are needed. Suggested retail pricing
is only $19.99. Pricing and Availability The Gateway MP3 Photo
Jukebox comes with an AC Adapter, soft cover bag, camera connection
cable and ear bud headphones for the low price of just $249.99. It
