Just in case the recently announced Journey branded DAP was not enough for you, ZVUE has once again come up with another uniquely branded player. This time its an Elvis Presley branded portable media player.

The Kings player will feature 1GB of onboard storage, and FM radio, voice recorder, photo and text viewer and a 2.4-inch display. The PMP will also come pre-loaded with 10 music video clips which are taken from the “68 Special” and “Aloha From Hawaii” concert specials.

Similar to the other ZVUE products, the Kings branded player can be purchased at Wal-Mart, that is assuming you are willing to part with the $49.88 that it costs, however it will not be available until August 12.

The FCC was kind enough to show off another mobile phone today, this time it was the Pantech UTStarcom TXT8010, which just happens to be going by the code name of Elvis.

Elvis will be a dual band (850/1900Mhz) CDMA handset with a slide out (from the bottom) QWERTY keyboard. Other features are expected to include Bluetooth, 1.3-megapixel camera and a microSD slot.
