mobiblu boxonIn late August, MobiBlu unleashed the mighty little Boxon on Korean gadget fanboys, but the rest of us are still waiting for a glimpse of the hybrid MP3 player/voip phone thingy.

Not only does it play DJ to your favorite tunes but plugging it into your laptop launches some kind of voip internet phone application. Don't hold me to that, though, since most of the documentation has yet to be translated from Korean.

Weighing in at, well...who knows, but the screen is only 1.7" so unless the Boxon happens to be made with some exotic, super dense material, I'm guessing that hauling it around won't tend to throw your back out.

Anyhow, aside from the playing of music and voiping of calls, Boxon also plays video, displays photos, is e-book capable, and comes pre-loaded with an English-Korean dictionary. So much good stuff in such a diminutive package. Keep your fingers crossed that it makes to our corner of the globe.
