Christina Crouch, Dec 31st 2007 Discuss [0]

Why is that we want our TV’s to be huge and we want portable media players to be so tiny you have to squint to see them? It’s one of the great mysteries of the human race. In any case, there is yet another portable player to take into consideration for you teeny tiny needs. Read The Full Story

Venus JXD 305 PMP looks surprisingly good

James Allan Brady, Dec 28th 2007 Discuss [0]

I love reporting on these amazing foreign personal media players knowing that it will be years before we ever have the video support or even the audio file support they off in a single player. These days we are lucky if we get MP3, AAC, and then if the company has one, they’ll throw in some proprietary audio format. Read The Full Story

LG KH1800 also known as the Orange phone

James Allan Brady, Dec 20th 2007 Discuss [0]

And surprisingly not due to it being on the French network. It’s called that because of the extreme amount of bright orange used on this slider phone. Its 13.3mm and a slider, I want a slider that thin to hit stateside, I love sliders, but they are always so thick, I guess this one is the exception. It has MP3 playback, a dictionary, camera, and 3G thanks to WCDMA. Sadly though it will never see the light of day stateside, its headed only to Korea’s KTF network and will cost you the equivalent of about $372 USD. Oh, in case you were wondering, there is no T-DMB in this phone. LG KH1800 or the Orange phone [via newlaunches]

James Allan Brady, Dec 3rd 2007 Discuss [1]

Why is it that the companies from far away lands that no one has ever heard of are the people releasing the PMPs that could actually give the iPod a run for its money? Why can’t Microsoft, a multi-billion dollar company come up with something that a company in Korea with an operating budget likely in the millions can come up with? Read The Full Story
