The Chocolate by no means started the 'black with glowy red bits that appear when you turn it on' bus. The earliest device I can remember was the Olympus MR-100 hard drive mp3 player, with a subjectively better KITT style (i.e. with bigger red bits that looked like LED's) implementation of the same concept. Sony had also had walkman hard drive players on the same concept. So whilist you can call the SL91 a clone of the Chocolate, the fact is the glassy look with LED's underneath has been around for a while.
And the E91's DOCK. That things is incredible. So black and slick if you drenched it in flowing water it would look like a miniature corporate/museum enterence.
