It’s obviously a day for promising 1080p PMPs, with Teclast’s upcoming T56 also boasting Full HD. The T56 has a 5-inch 16m color WVGA (800 x 480) display and some endearingly angular styling to its case; it also has an HDMI output for putting 1080p clips onto your nearest HDTV.
Having taunted us with one of the most alluring Android MIDs we’ve seen to date, only to reveal it was a mere husk intended to show off their 720p-capable HD chipset, Rockchip may slowly be working their way back into our good books. RAmos Digital are teasing an upcoming Android device for an event to be held on September 25th, and from the promo shot it looks to be exactly the same as the Rockchip concept.
Full specifications of the RAmos Android MID are unknown, though it’s unsurprisingly expected to be ARM based rather than using x86 architecture. It’s also tipped to support 1080p MKV (H.264/VC-1), AVI (Xvid/DivX) and various other formats, with bitrates ranging from 30 to 40Mbps.
VIA have announced their latest ultraportable reference design, the NetNote, which the company describes as “a mashup between the netbook and the traditional notebook.” Based on VIA’s Surfboard mainboards, using either VIA C7-M or Nano CPUs, the NetNotes will have screens ranging from 10.2-inches to 12.1-inches and play back Full HD 1080p video.
Seagate have announced their latest media player, the 1080p-capable FreeAgent Theater+, and if you’ve already bought into – or are willing to adopt – the company’s FreeAgent Go USB hard-drives then it might be a straightforward way to get digital content on your HDTV. The FreeAgent Theater+ adds HDMI, ethernet and both Dolby Digital and DTS 2.0 audio to the original Theater, as well as a whole flood of supported codecs.
Sharp have outed their latest Blu-ray player, the BD-HP52U AQUOS, which supports BD Live content, HDMI 1.3 connectivity and streaming media. The BD-HP52U has x.v. color and supports 1080p 24 playback, as well as Deep Color, Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD Master Audio, and a quick-start mode that promises to have you watching films faster than on rival decks.
We love big TVs as much as the next person, but there just has to be a point where big is too big. Is 65-inches too big? That’s probably a personal taste thing, and while we’re sure that there’s plenty of people out there that would love to have this new set introduced today at CEDIA by Samsung, we can guess there’s one huge obstacle you’ll have to climb before you can have one of these bad boys.
JVC have announced that the super-slim 32-inch LCD display they released in Japan back in August will hit the US in November. The tuner-free panel measures 6.4mm (1/4-inch) deep at its thinner point, and weighs 5.7kg (12.5lbs), and will launch as the JVC LT-32WX50 in US.
Sony have officially unveiled their new BRAVIA HDTVs, the ZX5 series, complete with high-end cleverness such as 240Hz “Flow Motion”, integrated wireless streaming and edge-mounted LED backlighting. The ZX5 range – which will land in Japan come November – will initially be available in 46- and 52-inch sizes, both supporting 1080p in a deliciously skinny frame.

Only yesterday we were picking through specifications of the Canon EOS 7D, crossing our fingers that the new DSLR would drop sooner rather than later. Now Canon have made their latest digital camera official, and as expected it’s an 18-megapixel monster complete with 8fps continuous shooting, the company’s latest APS-C CMOS sensor, and Full HD 1080p video capture at 24p, 25p or 30p.
