Designed to compete with the Apple iPod, Gateway's new DMP-X20 Digital Jukebox features a 2.5-inch LCD (liquid-crystal display) with backlight, a wired remote control, a built-in FM tuner, and a digital voice recorder. The DMP-X20's 20GB hard drive holds as many as 340 hours of music, and the rechargeable Li-Ion battery runs for more than 10 hours on one charge.

Compatibility with online music providers is included through support for Windows Media DRM (digital rights management) technology. In addition, Gateway bundles the unit with a complimentary one-month membership to Audible, an online provider of audio books and other audio media. The DMP-X20 plays MP3, WMA (Windows Media Audio), and Audible files.

For FM radio, the DMP-X20 includes a built-in tuner with the ability to preset 12 radio stations. The device has a five-band equalizer with five preset modes and one programmable mode. The DMP-X20 features stereo output, a pair of stereo earphones, a built-in microphone, and a built-in clock with timer.

Slightly thicker than an iPod, the DMP-X20 measures 0.83 x 2.64 x 3.99 inches and weighs 7.7 ounces with the battery in place. It connects to your PC via a Hi-Speed USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2.0 port and cable, and the device also has a headphone jack and power input connection. Playback modes include Repeat All, Random Play, Resume Play, Skip Playback, Repeat Shuffle, and One-track Repeat. In addition, you can browse music by album, artist, genre, track, or playlist.

Minimum system requirements include Windows 2000/XP, a 233MHz Pentium II processor, 64MB of memory, 20MB of hard drive space, a USB 2.0 port, and a CD-ROM drive. With the DMP-X20, Gateway includes a wired remote, stereo earphones, a USB 2.0 cable, an RCA audio cable for connecting to a home stereo system, an AC adapter, a carrying case with belt clip, and documentation. The device comes with a 90-day warranty.
