Default LG Dresses Up Its FM37 PMP in Volkswagen Colors

Looking for every angle to avoid commoditization, LG teams up with Volkswagen for a painted-up version of the FM37 PMP first announced last October, a little media player that matches the colors of the VW Beetle. It'll be available in Salsa Red, Shadow Blue, and Sunflower Yellow, just like the car.

In case you don't recall the LG FM37, it has a nice clean design because LG has eliminated most of the buttons up front in favor of a 2.4-inch touchscreen LCD. It can play back 4GB worth of your favorite MPEG-4, Windows Media9, MP3, WMA and Ogg files, and we're told that it'll be first available only in Korea. Too bad those two young lovelies won't be included, but you can click over to the next page and see one more picture of them.

What does the FM37 have to do with the Beetle? Besides the colors, maybe its e-book support will make long trips in the tiny VW bug seem more pleasant. Now we're just wondering about the price, which some sources say is $200 but when we saw it in January it was $320. – Charlie White

I'd love it if my cell phone color matched my bug.
But I wouldn't pay $300 for that.
I don't know what you find so great about the girls, they're as generic as institution toilet paper

VW Beetle MP3 player: questionable brand partnership, nice looking player

Details on this LG Beetles MP3 player are still pretty scarce, but it's so pretty I thought you'd like to see it even if I have had to make up some of the specs. For instance, the screen is definitely 2.4", but I'm going to take a punt and say it's a touchscreen, since I can't see any external controls. It also definitely comes with 2GB or 4GB, and in red, yellow or blue. It comes with a free VW Beetle (I might have made that bit up, too). What we can see for definite is the fact that VW's involvement seems to have expanded to sticking a logo on the front and back and not much more.

I want it! But, I'm sure it's beyond my budget.

VW + LG = MP3

You might say that, in terms of broad market appeal, the iPod is the VW of personal electronics. If that's the case, then what happens when Volkswagen comes out with a digital media player of its own?

The German automaker has teamed up with LG to produce a special MP3 player designed and branded as the Beetle of personal music devices. Rather than simply slapping a Vee-Dub logo on any old contraption, LG designed a fresh product for Volkswagen. Although the shape is the same rounded-corner block as any other on the market, it has a user interface said to be inspired by the New Beetle and is offered in Volkswagen colors including Salsa Red, Shadow Blue and Sunflower Yellow. Of course, it also comes emblazoned with Volkswagen logos, but it seems the designers couldn't fit a bud vase anywhere on the unit.
