IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The new

affordable and very convenient way to take their favorite music and
photos with them wherever they go. (Logo:

Gateway MP3 Photo Jukebox will make anyone currently on a waiting
list for other mini-digital music players think twice. The new
Gateway jukebox combines 4GB of storage in a small and lightweight
3.4-ounce design, with cool new features including a large color
display, digital photo storage, and a removable and rechargeable
battery.(1) "This feature-rich digital music player is very small,
sleek, easy to use and offers a combination of features that can't
be found anywhere else in the market," said Ed Fisher, senior vice
president of product planning for Gateway, Inc. "Combine its
affordable price, unique features, music service compatibility and
out-of-the box Napster To Go Service, and you've got a great
holiday gift for music lovers of all ages." The new device promotes
a new way of enjoying digital music. Right out of the box, the
jukebox comes ready to download music content directly from the new
Napster To Go service, the world's first portable subscription
service. Available as a plug-in through the new free Windows Media
Player 10, Napster To Go gives music lovers unlimited access to
more than a million songs for one low monthly price. Rather than
having to purchase individual songs a la carte, Gateway customers
can use Napster To Go to get unlimited fill-ups of their MP3 Photo
Jukebox. For a limited time, a prepaid month of Napster To Go is
provided at no cost with the MP3 Photo Jukebox and customers who
want to subscribe after the prepaid month pay only the $14.95
monthly fee.(2) "Napster To Go offers an amazing value to consumers
and the new Gateway MP3 Jukebox lets them experience this
revolutionary portable subscription service on a smart, simple,
affordable device full of features that are important to die-hard
music fans and novices alike," said Laura Goldberg, Napster's COO.
"We are extremely pleased that Gateway has developed a quality
device that complements Napster's service and will enable consumers
to make the most of their digital music experience." Moving beyond
the typical black-and-white displays available on most MP3 players,
the Gateway jukebox boasts a large 1.6-inch, vibrant color display.
The crisp and bright images give music lovers a better way to
navigate their music library and view track information. Unlike
most other digital music players, the Gateway MP3 Photo Jukebox can
store and display digital photos. This unique feature is perfect
for people traveling on vacation or business who find they've maxed
out their camera's capacity, or who simply want to carry a
collection of photos along with their digital music. Transferring
photos to the MP3 Photo Jukebox is easy; the jukebox can be
connected directly to a digital camera with the included USB 2.0
cable. By simply connecting the two devices and following the
prompts, the photos are quickly transferred. The Gateway MP3 Photo
Jukebox can be used to view digital photos one by one or in a
slideshow format, giving the customer even more enjoyment out of
the large color display. The Gateway MP3 Photo Jukebox is simple to
use. The large 1.6 inch color display is easy to read, whether
viewing photos, playlists or track information. The intuitive
scroll navigation makes accessing and managing content quick and
easy. Music can be browsed by album, artist, genre, track or
playlist, and modes such as shuffle and repeat tailor the music
mix. Plus, music lovers can personalize their listening experience
with more than 20 different equalizer settings. After filling their
Gateway jukebox with music and other content, Gateway customers
have maximum listening time ahead of them, since the battery
delivers more than eight hours of play time on a single charge.(3)
And unlike most other digital music players, the battery can be
removed and recharged. Comfortable to carry in a pocket or purse,
the Gateway MP3 Photo Jukebox is compact and sleek. It measures
only 3.8in x 2.3in x 0.7in (L x W x D) and weighs just 3.4 ounces
-- less than most cell phones. And while the size is small, the
sound quality is big. The Gateway MP3 Photo Jukebox delivers clean,
crisp high-fidelity sound. Its large 4GB of storage capacity can
house up to 1,000 MP3 songs -- so an entire collection of great
music can always be on hand. The Gateway MP3 Photo Jukebox will
include the new Windows Media Player 10, offering Gateway customers
more music and more choices including built-in access to a broad
range of digital music services. It also includes the new Auto Sync
feature, which automatically synchronizes customer's digital music
collections and photos from a PC to their new Gateway MP3 Photo
Jukebox. Gateway plans to verify the new MP3 Photo Jukebox with the
PlaysForSure logo when it ships in November. The PlaysForSure logo
offers consumers a symbol of verified support for a broad range of
music download services. This will also include support for the
state-of-the-art Windows Media DRM 10 for music subscription
services. Using a portable subscription service like Napster To Go,
Gateway customers can fill their jukebox with enough music to fill
hundreds of CDs, at a price of just a single CD. Priced at just
$249.99 the Gateway MP3 Photo Jukebox comes with an AC Adapter,
soft cover bag and ear bud headphones. The jukebox can be
pre-ordered now on http://www.gateway.com/ or by calling
1-800-GATEWAY. The jukeboxes will ship in November, making them a
perfect gift for the upcoming holidays. About Gateway Since its
