Just look at these slick new Kenwood "Media Keg" PMPs! Just like the previous generation, they've only been confirmed for Japan, but at least there are hints that they might eventually reach a global audience... the menu can be set to display in Japanese, but also English, German, Spanish, French, Dutch and Italian.
Why would we want another media player flooding the U.S. market? Well, we've always been fans of Japanese gadgets, but the Media Keg seems like a nice little player, if not exactly remarkable. It supports a plethora of audio file types and despite having just 4GB of internal memory, there's a convenient micro-SD slot for expanding your capacity or looking at pictures from your digital camera.
It looks like the Media Keg is only Windows-compatible, but it's a fair bet that no matter what your country of residence, if you're using a Macintosh computer, you'll buy an iPod before you buy a Media Keg. Then again, there's something to be said for a PMP that is a keg... for your media.
