Title: Commodore Branded MP3 Player!
Post by: ExtremeWays on December 17, 2003, 03:40:35 AM

Hello All..  

Just came across this link.. found it interesting that the Commodore Brand is still alive and kicking...  although used in a most bizarre way :)

Wonder who owns the commodore brand these days :)

A C= USB Pen FlashDrive surfaced a few months ago. Nice to see the trademark owners are doing something with it!

[EDIT: Actually read the article!] Or not...

It would be quite interesting if they made enough money to aquire all the previous Commodore properties.

Wow I had no idea anyone was using the trademark name to make new products. What else do they make?

which has remained under construction for ages.

Not a single mention of C= on the device itself =).

those sony ones look better (and they're made by sony, not just sony labelling  :-D ), but also, the audio part is seperate from the usb part,regardless

i'd like to get one so that i can check out the device's properties, maybe it IS made by commoddore, without having it in my hands i couldn't tell...

also, when you plug it into the computer, does it say "removabe storage device found", or "mp3 player found", that would be interesting,  it might be intergrated, or just a storage media...

Hi All-
USB flashpen?  Could I have my fantasy of a Commodore USB flashmem drive with Amiga Forever stored on it so that I just jack it in to the nearest laptop, do whatever, and TA-DA! there is my new Amiga laptop!?!  I mean- a keychain/watchfob/penknife sized, Commodore branded USB thingy that does instant Amiga brain transplants on any convienient computer.  In fact, why isnt Cloanto marketing one all set to go?
Yours-
CRL
