Sharp's "cute" digital audio system: QT-MPA5

If the iPod and an '80s-era boombox had a child, their offspring would undoubtedly be the Sharp QT-MPA5 Digital Audio system. You'll find an AM/FM tuner, WMA compatibility (in addition to MP3, of course), and a stylized circular design--none of which are available on the iPod, though that hasn't adversely affected sales of Apple's player, in case you didn't notice. The QT-MPA5 will also be available in a multitude of colors, but we have a strong feeling that Pearl White will enjoy the most popularity. The 512MB version will be available in May for $190.
