The Korean made M-Bird XT-21 is a digital audio player with built-in stereo speakers and a very different design. Some may call it ugly, futuristic or even innovative, I myself think it looks like some type of space age communicator.

It will be easy for the XT-21 to stand out in the crowded Korean mp3 market, but will it be another Samsung Matrix phone? It will ship in 256MB and 1GB versions and has 125 different selectable LCD colours, no clue as if it will leave Korea.
