XIAS is looking to tangle with the Apple iPod ecosystem as it brings to the Consumer Electronics Show its own new MP3 player and online music site. The new XIAS PV-4022 is set to price at around $110.

The XIAS PV-4022 is a 4GB flash memory based MP3 player which can hold and playback up to 1,000 WMA and MP3 music files. It will also be able to playback WMV video files on its 2.2-inch viewing screen. The PV-4022 sports an icon-based menu navigation system and will let you play/record FM radio and voice.

The XiasLive.com site, meanwhile, will offer a variety of DRM-free “major label and independent global song titles. Content includes English speaking titles from leading American artists and is available for purchase to everyone that has an MP3 player.” Downloads will cost $.99 a title and a variety of video offerings will come later in the year. One can expect the XIAS PV-4022 sometime in the next few months.
