Following in the footsteps of the Sonique Aireo the MusicGremlin company has released its first MP3 player, a WiFi unit that uses 802.11b technology to access files via wireless.

MusicGremlin released its MG-1000, which offers 8GB of memory and an FM receiver. Capable of playing MP3 and PlaysForSure WMA files, the MG-1000 is matched with MusicGremlin's new download service that sports 2 million tracks. The service is also WiFi enabled allowing users to download tracks from a hotspot without the need of a PC. Users can also use the WiFi feature to trade tracks with friends (or strangers) who have MusicGremlins, a feature that should keep the RIAA up at nights.
