While I don’t think I’d actually buy a Zune, I do admire how Microsoft has committed to making the latest firmware for its Zune 2 PMP available for first-gen hardware too. Come November 13th those who took the non-iPod route in favour of Seattle’s finest will be able to install the new software, giving wireless [...]
There are some pretty amazing features that come with this PMP too. Lets start with the screen, its 4-inches diagonal, 16 million colors, and has a res of 800×480, that’s as good as my TV.
Then there is the FM radio with built in recorder, a USB host, MPEG-4 video recorder, and up to 1280×720 HD [...]
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.
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 [...]
Colour me confused. Microsoft have kicked off their all-singing, all-dancing ad campaign for the Zune 2 - under the byline “You Make It You” - and as far as I can tell they’re suggesting that you have plans to fill your PMP with kangaroos and jellyfish. What’s more concerning than the odd menagerie is the [...]
Over at ArsGeek there’s some serious canoodling going on: they’ve got their hands on Archos’ 605 WiFi PMP and fallen in love with the 30GB music, video and picture device. I’m not all that surprised, really; from when we saw the PMP at IFA 2007 it’s been the ominous, hardball player on the media horizon.
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’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 [...]
The fuel cell has almost 100% Methanol inside and powers the PMP for 10 hours of 1seg. That’s right 1seg is another technology we aren’t blessed with here, regardless, I would assume on the power consumption chart it would probably be somewhere in between WiFi or Bluetooth and our current TV wireless broadcasts.
The thing showed [...]
Well it looks like Microsoft is at it again with the whole not letting anyone else touch the dock connector thing. As such they have released a new FM transmitter for the new Zunes that are coming in November.
The new FM transmitter can find the optimum stations (for example those without other stations broadcasting on [...]
