Next from camp Philips comes the Ariaz (pictured above) and the Muse (after the jump).
The Ariaz features the pretty cool braile style bumps for navigation and the Muse is touchscreen.
The 2.4 inch Ariaz screen is a bit smaller than the 3.2 inch Muse, as is the capacity which sees the Ariaz hold 8GB and the Muse take 16GB.
Both offer HDMI output, have SD expansion, are out in the spring and will cost $149 (Muse) and $79 (Ariaz).

Discuss on the forum.
Oppos Muse keeps getting more and more interesting, the swivel display MP4 player also has a comprehensive English to Chinese and Chinese to English dictionary, which will also speak out the words. Whats more interesting is the built in program to teach English and other languages. However we have a feeling unless you know Chinese, the learning program may not be useful.
It also is programmed to prep people for different English exams, from high school exams, to university exams to even things like Tofel and SAT
The Oppo Muse also comes with a built in camera and it has a nice stylish design.

This player from OPPO has caused a bit of a stir
Looks good eh! well at the start it had no name, but through a contest on the OPPO BBS one has been chosen
Introducing the MUSE
This is an actual live picture of the player
Now what strikes me is the fact the the stunning UI from the top pic has gone, and replaced by another bog standard, grid of icons, big shame.
Anyway, pop over to the forums and discuss this player, not yet released and full details are still not really available, but we will post as soon as we know anything, but knowing OPPO it will be well developed and procey
