Philips is "giving away" 50 units of their new MP3-CD player, the Expanium, to a lucky few as a part of their beta test. The player itself is due out in August, but it's quite difficult to see how they could pull off a two-month beta test period in time before the release. I'm pretty sure the current beta test program is more of a publicity stunt.
Of course the beta test program is open to residents of the United States only. If you are from the USA, you can sign up and cross your fingers and wait. The rest of us can take a look at the Expanium homepage and wait for the release of the $200 player.
