Apacer Technology Inc. will introduce a 5-in-1 MP3 player for working people who are looking for a fashionable and tasteful MP3 player at the end of September. Apacer's Audio Steno AP510 is manufactured with a high-level chipset, which enables it to generate high-clarity sound output. This 59g MP3 player, the Audio Steno AP510, comes in a high-quality, classy and fashionable aluminum alloy shell. Moreover, the exclusive "stereo station" supplied allows users to turn the player into a stereo with excellent sound quality.

According to Apacer Vice President Lawrence Lo; "instead of an ordinary MP3 player that supports MP3/WMA music formats, Apacer's Audio Steno AP510 is also SD card reader, USB flash disk, digital recorder and FM radio. From all the MP3 devices on the market, Apacer's Audio Steno AP510 is offered with the most user-friendly interface; the one-button to record makes it really convenient to record FM programs. The most striking features of Audio Steno AP510 are the exclusive "stereo station" and the high-quality, brilliant, energy-efficient OLED panel. Therefore, users will need only one "AA" (UM3) battery to enjoy up to 23 hours of continuous MP3 music."

Additionally, whether it is the sound effect, functionality, appearance, or craftsmanship, the Audio Steno AP510 is ahead of other products of the same kind. As an extra to this excellent player, the exclusive "stereo station" gives users another option. It is doubtless that AP510 is a perfect choice for outdoor purposes, moreover, if users want to enjoy music at home or in the office, they won’t need another stereo system, because the exclusive "stereo station" that comes with AP510 can turn it into a high-quality stereo. Users can also switch the AP510 to the "data" mode and connect it to a PC in order to transfer music or data to the AP510.
The Audio Steno AP510 is offered with three memory options: 128MB, 256MB, or 512MB. The additional SD card slot allows users to expand the memory capacity up to 1GB by using SD cards. Therefore, the AP510 is an SD card reader and a USB flash disk when connected to a PC via a USB cable or the "stereo station".

The Audio Steno AP510 does double duty as an FM radio with 10 programmable channels and a digital recorder allowing users to listen to FM channels and record up to 15 hours of their favorite programs or voice messages in WAV format.

The Apacer Audio Steno AP510 has been designed specifically to save energy. It needs only one "AA" (UM3) battery to play music up for to 23 hours continuously. In order to make the AP510 exude more class and consume less energy, it has been equipped with a dual-color OLED panel, allowing users to read information clearly, both in the light or in the dark. The 5 EQ modes—Normal/Rock/Jazz/Classical/Pop on the AP510 allow users to enjoy different music in its true tones. The AP510 is also equipped with different playback and repeat modes to meet different demands, including shuffle (random), repeat all, repeat single, and repeat session (A-B) to assist in, for example, learning a language. With the repeat session function, users can set the start (A) and end (B) of session.
