New ibiza Rhapsody Delivers a Truly Integrated, On-Demand Multimedia Experience Over any Wi-Fi Network

Haier America announced today the ibiza Rhapsody, a new class of Wi-Fi portable media players that combine an advanced music experience with Wi-Fi enabled access to unlimited digital entertainment possibilities. With the ibiza Rhapsody, consumers can now enjoy the Rhapsody digital music service, AOL Video and other digital content from just about anywhere there's an available Wi-Fi hotspot.

The new ibiza Rhapsody gives consumers instant portable access to the
full Rhapsody music experience, including millions of songs, professionally
programmed music channels and exclusive performances from top artists in
every genre. And in a first for Rhapsody, the ibiza lets consumers instantly refresh their Rhapsody music anywhere there's Wi-Fi available -at home, at the airport or at a favorite coffee shop- and take it on the go without stopping by a PC.

"Rhapsody satisfies even the most hardcore music fan by having all the
music they could ever want at their fingertips," said Michael Bloom, head
of Rhapsody. "The ibiza Rhapsody extends that instant gratification experience even farther to deliver music wherever and whenever you want
it."

compatibility (30GB model), automatic downloads, dynamic menus, and
customizable skins, FM radio, podcasts and pictures, and Airskins(TM)

updated via Wi-Fi, without having to connect to your PC.
