Memorex enters digital audio player fray Memorex has just taken the jump into the DAP market by introducing the MMP8640 device that offers pretty much what other generic models already do, including both MP3 and MPEG 4 media playback in addition to support for WMA-DRM protected files. Unfortunately, the 1.8" color display is much more suitable for just audio listening than watching videos since your eyes will probably end up worse for the wear after an hour or so. Other features include a miniSD memory card slot and an integrated FM radio. Battery life is rated at 20 hours, but take that figure with a pinch of salt since manufacturers tend to run everything at the minimal level which is just not practical for everyday use to get superior results. Each purchase comes with a protective sleeve.
