MobiBLU has been making MP3 portables for a while, but their new player looks more like the work of stylemongers Bang & Olufsen. The MobiBLU UFO offers an interesting look that we assume serves to provide a bigger air cavity for the speaker to do its job.

It's 90mm height translates into 3.5" of tabletop performance - not something you may want to have bulging from your pocket for the benefit of the ladies - so the bluetooth option is ideal to allow you to walk around with a pair of like headsets. The unit pays ASF, MP3, OGG and WMA and comes with up to 8GB of memory. Price and availability are yet to be announced.
