iAudio U2 released, nerds get out their reading glasses

We're pretty happy iAudio doesn't seem to be a one-hit wonder—they're following up their
M3 with a very nice flash player that comes in flavors up to 1GB, the U2. It's 2.9 x 1 x 0.7-inches, plays MP3/WAV/WMA/ASF, has USB 2.0, FM receiver, line-in encoding, and a lithium polymer battery (fairly uncommon in these things) for a 20 hour play time. The only thing you can really accuse iAudio of doing is being a little too good—their screen has about half the resolution of the iPods, but it's also about quarter of the size. The 1GB version runs about $340 US, which is steep but that's how these things go.
