Haier today entered the American market with the ibiza Rhapsody, its first portable media player in the country and one of the few to take direct advantage of built-in Wi-Fi. Partnering with RealNetworks, Haier provides access to the former's Rhapsody unlimited subscription service to provide downloads of new tracks anywhere the ibiza can connect to the Internet; an existing subscriber can fill the player with music without touching a computer, Haier says. The device can also browse AOL Video clips for free and even subscribe to podcasts directly from the device.
The version available today contains a 30GB hard disk and offers Bluetooth for wireless headphones, FM radio, and a custom skinning feature to personalize the look of the user interface. It ships today for $330 in several colors and will be accompanied in the near future by 4GB and 8GB flash-based models without Bluetooth for lower prices of $230 and $250 respectively. Haier does not specify operating system support.
