James Allan Brady, Nov 6th 2007 Discuss [0]

It has a 2” screen that can display up to 262k colors. You can play MPEG-4 and AVI video files on it too. MP3 and WMA are the compatible audio formats. It also has an FM radio tuner built in and an SD card slot for storage. Read The Full Story

Celland Enterprises Digital Photo Frame

Chris Scott Barr, Nov 2nd 2007 Discuss [0]

This digital photo frame clearly has a severe case of mistaken identity. I think DivX and Xvid playback are a good place to draw the line between a digital photo frame and a fairly amazing PMP. If not then the WMV, VOB, DAT, and MPEG-4 might help strengthen my case that this is not a digital photo frame. It also plays MP3s and Ogg as well as displaying TXT documents, and then there is JPEG support, the only real evidence other than the screen that this is in fact a digital photo frame.

Roberts Radio Robi

James Allan Brady, Oct 30th 2007 Discuss [0]

Those probably aren’t the three R’s your parents told you to learn in school, but they are the three R’s that bring you digital radio for your iPod. It also acts as a remote for the iPod, allowing you to control the iPod using this in-line device. And, like I said, you can listen to DAB radio with it. One of these days we might see something like DAB stateside, but somehow I doubt it. Read The Full Story

LG Shine Wood LB2005H

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

It’s a new addition to the LG Shine lineup, a LG Shine with a stainless steel cover that is etched to look like wood. Really it looks pretty nice, but sadly it appears to only be available in Korea. Other features include DMB-TV, a two-megapixel camera, MP3 player, Bluetooth (hopefully with A2DP support), and an Electronic Dictionary. That’s a pretty good list of features for a clamshell.

Natural Sounds Enterprise D9280C

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

Well I guess there has been crazier stuff come out of China than this. But it appears from the design of this player; the designers over at Natural Sounds Enterprise have officially lost it. They decided to completely disregard the user’s experience, I mean, just look at that highly confusing array of buttons on the front. It does however have a 2” screen, a USB 2.0 port, and SD/MMC card slots, which should make connectivity and storage a breeze. Read The Full Story

XRoad V4050 dropping stateside

James Allan Brady, Oct 26th 2007 Discuss [0]

Well this is a pretty amazing GPS unit, but is really dependent on price, especially after Nokia released the N810 with integrated GPS. This unit has a 4.3-inch touchscreen and a SiRF Star III chipset, which is as good as it gets in the consumer market. On top of that, there is an SD card slot and a multimedia app that supports MP3, MPEG-4, and JPG files. That’s not a bad list of features, but again, compared to the N810, price will be the major selling point. Read The Full Story

Samsung F110 Adidas phone dropping soon

James Allan Brady, Oct 23rd 2007 Discuss [0]

Well, the co-branding fairies are at it again, this time blessing a deal between Samsung and Adidas. The F110 is actually not that great of a phone if you are a geek, although if you are a more physically fit type of person, it’s great, with and included heartbeat monitor, step counter, and other sports applications. It’s a 2.5G phone with GPRS/EDGE; there is also a 2” screen, a 2MP cam, and a FM radio tuner. It also has and MP3 player function and I assume a card slot of some sort. Read The Full Story

NU Dolphin MP3 Player

James Allan Brady, Oct 23rd 2007 Discuss [0]

Just this morning someone asked me if I wanted a waterproof bag for my MP3 player, I said no, that I had no use for it, they asked me if I ever took my Touch in the shower with me, and I laughed and said no. I really didn’t think that people actually had any interest in taking their music in the water with them. Apparently they do though, as the NU Dolphin is 1GB worth of MP3 player and is made to go underwater with you. A charge will last you 8 hours of underwater goodness. Read The Full Story

Audi Concept Device looks like a move from the James Bond playbook

James Allan Brady, Oct 21st 2007 Discuss [0]

The very same auto manufacturers you are thinking of are the ones working on a concept device that nearly does it all. It starts with an MP3 player and then adds on Wi-Fi, 3G via UMTS, and so much more. It doubles as a cellular phone too, thus the addition of the 3G connectivity. It also does navigation, controls the functions of your Audi, and so much more. Read The Full Story

Oppo Super Five, amazing PMP from Chinese Manufacturer

James Allan Brady, Oct 14th 2007 Discuss [2]

It’s called the Super Five, but a more accurate name would be the Super Eighteen because that’s how many audio, video, and picture formats this little device supports. All of those format in a package that’s no bigger than a credit card except in thickness. The video formats supported are RM, RMVB, FLV, DAT, MPG, MPEG AVI, and 3GP. The audio formats supported are OGG, MP3, WMA, WAV, dual-APE, and FLAC Lossless. Read The Full Story

Popblaster the “Perfect Travel Companion?”

James Allan Brady, Oct 14th 2007 Discuss [0]

Not likely. It looks like someone got their hands on a bunch of old CD binders and removed the disc holders, mounted some old boom box speakers and a flap to put you MP3 player into. If I had to guess, that probably is actually the story of this company, or something along those lines. Don’t get me wrong, it looks decent, and it does keep it simple, so for the cheap price it sits at, I’d probably bump that. Read The Full Story

Rush Electronic RK186-1 is a dollar short and a day late

James Allan Brady, Oct 2nd 2007 Discuss [1]

Alright, maybe they are more than a day late since its been a while since AT&T announced it was buying Cingular. Yet here it is, in front of your very own eyes, a flash-based MP3 player that looks a lot like the second gen Nanos but with a Cingular logo interface. How crappy of a product do you have to have in order for the amount of storage space to not be listed? You even have to order a minimum of a thousand of them to buy them. They do have a 1.8” LCD, support for MP3, WMA, AVI, JPEG, LRC, and TXT formats. Read The Full Story
