Color mirasol-equipped Freestyle Audio DAP gets spec'd, no closer to release
Well, wouldn't you know it? Just after we bash Qualcomm for talking up its second color mirasol-based design before shipping the first, along comes a little justification of our actions. Over in San Francisco, said company is trumpeting an item that we first heard about back in May, but regrettably, it doesn't sound as if we're any closer to getting a release date. What we are told is the device's name: the Freestyle Audio Soundwave Ltd. Edition, or -- more formally -- the FA300. It'll boast a 0.9-inch color mirasol display, a waterproof casing, built-in Bluetooth, and a whole host of other niceties that we're sure to find out about before the next decade dawns. 'Til then, we'd suggest a hearty helping of patience.

For what it is worth, I yesterday happened to call Freestyle Audio and ask them about when they would come out with the device they announced back in May. It sounds like the person on the phone -either a sales rep or a tech support man- told me more than he was allowed to, but he did tell me the waterproof MP3 player with this new full-color display would come to market in the FIRST QUARTER OF 2009... and that they are looking into also offering it in a 4 GB version. I'll sure be getting one of these puppies then.
