Well, would you look at that. If not for the gaudy packaging, $69.99 price tag and blatant Oasis Media branding, we'd swear the Playr was a
T-Mobile Shadow (or HTC's
P3300, we guess). Yep, this knockoff does a fairly decent job of mirroring its inspirer, sports 2GB of storage and a miniSD expansion slot, comes with 35 free eMUSIC downloads and includes a built-in media player for good measure. Interestingly, we get the feeling that this thing won't actually send or receive calls, but if you're quick, no one will even notice.
[Thanks, Rick]
Update: Turns out this thing is actually the MachSpeed Oasis Video Player, and is readily available on
Amazon (among other places). Still, it could stand some originality in the design department. [Thanks, Rob!]

That looks much more like the HTC Artemis than the T-Mobile Shadow.
