Commodore: Not Just Computers Anymore

Posted on August 6, 2007 at 2:03 pm (PST)

Capitalizing on its return to (relative) fame, Commodore is expanding beyond computers with the Gravel C200 medial player. Beyond the strange name (Gravel?), it looks like a pretty mediocre device. First, it’s a little, well, not good looking, and has some unimpressive specs: 1.8 inch color screen, plays MP3, WAV, WMA, MPEG 2, MPEG 4, DivX, Xvid, and WMV (which is admittedly a nice long list), and is available with 512MB, 1GB, and 2GB models. Pricing and availability unavailable, but I’m not sure anyone’s going to be waiting that impatiently.
