A new Sportsline MP3 Player for active users

Amsterdam (The Netherlands), April 19, 2007 Canyon has launched a new uniquely-designed MP3 player with OLED display which is targeted at music lovers preferring active and mobile lifestyle. The new trendy consumer product will be available by the end of April at Canyon partners’ stores across Europe, Middle East and Africa.

The brand-new CNS-MP1 player is the latest addition to the Canyon Sportsline product range which is developed for active users who are looking for functional, shockproof and water resistant electronic products that can be used for outdoor and indoor sport activities.

Canyon Releases MP3 Player with Color OLED Display, Handy ClipThe brand-new CNS-MP1 includes MP3 player, voice recorder, and Flash memory storage (1GB or 2GB). The device offers a comfortable hand grip, while its large buttons provide easy access to music files and all available features. At the touch of a button, users can customize the sound with seven equalizer presets. The player comes with a very convenient clip allowing to attach the device anywhere you want without losing or feeling it during your sports workout. On top of that, the CNS-MP1 comes standard with a sports-wear “behind the neck” headphone and street-wear “in the ear” earphone.

The new device features a state-of-the-art color OLED display (96x39). OLED stands for organic light-emitting diode which is a recent technology allowing the production of super-thin displays of stunning quality which do not require any power-consuming backlight. The high-contrast yellow and blue OLED display built into the Canyon’s player will surely make a difference for those users who want to complement the enjoyable music with eye-pleasing display information. Another pleasant fact is that the display supports long file names and multiple languages.

Ivo van Houten , Marketing Manager at Canyon Technology, is confident about the new player’s market success: “Our innovative CNS-MP1 player offers some unbeatable features, such as ultra-light weight, handy clip and stylish looks, brilliant OLED display, two types of earphones, and reasonable price/performance ratio. I am sure this unique device is going to impress style-conscious lovers of sports and quality music.”

Users can quickly download MP3 or WMA files from their computers to the MP3 player via mini-USB port. The unit is fully plug-and-play compatible with computers running Microsoft Windows 98 or later. In addition to the USB cable, its accessories include two types of earphones, software disk, battery, quick guide, necklace, and a carrying case. Apart from being used as an MP3 player, this device can obviously be used as a high-capacity USB drive for storing and sharing all kinds of digital data. The player measures 64x31x27mm and weighs mere 35g (without battery). It runs on a rechargeable Li-Pol battery supporting over 20 hours of continuous play.

The unit is covered by Canyon’s 2-year limited international warranty.
