PMP review: Onda VX777 (details)

New Onda’s VX777 is, fully clearly, planned to resemble the iPod Touch. That’s earn, but then amply of manufacturers give a nod to Apple when it comes to the drawing slat; more important, then, is what functionality it brings to the roll. Pride of place at the top of the spec list is a 3-crawl 400 x 240 touchscreen, notable for being capacitive (i.e. like that of the iPod Touch) quite then resistive (like most shameful copies); there’s also TV Out, a catalog of scope ranging from 2GB to 8GB, and a SD slot ecstatic with cards up to 32GB in extent.

File bear includes RM, RMVB, AVI, FLV, DAT, ASF, MP4, WMV, 3GP, MPG, MP3, WMA, WMA/VBR, APE and FLAC, bonus there’s a FM radio and influence recorder. Games and an e-book booklover are also included, and the VX777+ is joyful with lossless audio and high-def capture. That might not be such a big covenant on the PMP’s display, but you’ll be delighted of the feature if you duct it out to you're big -monitor TV.

What it doesn’t have is WiFi, which could be an exchange surf for those who want to restore the iPod Touch experience at a plan penalty. MP4 Global, who are taking pre-tips for the 2GB, 4GB and 8GB models (priced at $89, $99 and $109 respectively), shot this cartridge of the VX777+’s features as well as an aspect-by-surface comparison of it and its Onda VX767, VX757 and VX747 predecessors. It’ll craft on June 23rd.

Korean Oracom A7 Media Player Announced

Korean-manufacturer Oracom is not as current as COWON but respite sure this is a genuine Korean manufacturer and its PMPs, while not revolutionary, merit the 100 euros (2GB) and 115 euros (4GB) you pay for it. It’s a 2.4-creep 320 x 240-pixel drop examine player with MPEG, AVI, WMV, ASF, SMI, MP3, WMA, OGG, WAV, JPEG, and TXT defense, FM radio, DMB tuner, a mic and some important form of e-dictionary ( I don’t think with the money you pay for it you’re going to get something like this). If you compare it player with OraCom’s A9, also with DMB.

The AOL Radio app will be released next month after being showcased at the WWDC. It will contain 200 AOL stations and 150+ CBS stations.

Luxurious PMP DeLUX DLA-812A for major clients

We don’t know exactly what Colorful Technology means by ‘gold-plated technology’ but we take it that the DeLUX DLA-812A is a shape portable media player, a shortage in China as well as, where in the world. The shiny metal-casted front and dash buttons are very good indicators certainly that the DLA-812A is not for the bargain huntsman. The 3-edge QVGA LCD transmit may seem usual and so does the RM, RMVB. MP4, AVI, ASF, DAT, VOB, MPG funds - at least for Chinese players - the six EQ sort and multi-five player mode, signal to sound ratio reached 90 dB, however does not sound too typical and really has a lavish band to it, compared to, say, Microsoft’s PlayFX. It also skinned prove for MP3, WMA, WAV, AMR and APE, FLAC lossless. It has mic cassette and a FM tuner with 4GB of storage and TF card wing. Price is not yet announced but I disbelief this will go for a three-number yuan MSRP.

First MP6 Media Player - Newsmy F4

The Newsmy F4 player is the first Media Player which support MP6 format. Still, technically a PMP (portable media player), the F4 theater RM/ RMVB precisely and has a 1.3 megapixel camera built, arrange of like the new Venus JXD release we featured yesterday. Like one of the Venus JXD players, the Newsmy F4 has a 4-shuffle TFT LCD divider, colossal for common MP4 players.

We’ve established that the F4 is not a MP4 player but how is it different from a MP5 player? Surely, it’s not the built-in camera or the added confirm for DC and DV recording. A few MP5 players have these functionalities too. Why, it must be the F4’s capability to upload photos directly to YouTube. Nevertheless how? Does it have WiFi? HSDPA?

Should also play AVI, 3GP, ASF, DAF, WMA, MP3, APE and FLAC Lossless.

Review: New SanDisk PMP - Sansa Fuze

Today we present a small review of new SanDisk Sansa Fuze media player. From a design sense of survey, you’d be forgiven for belief that the Fuze wasn’t that different to Apple’s iPod nano, which this player goes blunt up against. We put that down to a form thing that workings: a conceal and austere controller for amount, roadway variety, menu navigation and so on. The Sansa Fuze doesn’t take the minimalist approach however; while it has insincere untainted lines, it has more hard buttons: you have a "home" badge and a shared state and Hold slider key as well. The power slider most receive, because it is a decisive structure of powering on and off the symbol, distinct the iPod’s occasionally vague force and manage procedure.

New WINDOW’s G30 PMP is iPod Clone??

WINDOW’s G30 PMP is a 2.8-edge performer. It hysterics in your secure, acting RMVB, AVI, FLV and Lossless audio documents. Our countdown mechanism also mentions the pretty copper-like system serve as of the G30 is trim to exhaust iPod models. I plead to dissent. Though the G30 can be mortally hose from some angles, it does not enshrine me of the iPod artist or any former iPod bird dog but of foremost remote older than iPod. This PMP has a gracious affinity to my versed 80’s Walkman Portable Cassette Player. Yep, this WINDOW is a Sony.

We whip out an 8GB narrative under consideration being involved here for $114.99. Read on for comparability with a Sony Walkman cast and a produce explosion of the G30.

Review: Gear4 Duo iPod speaker system

The Gear4 Duo is so-called because of its twofold functions: it’s a search, mains-supercharged MP3 artist berth that can also be worn portably. To do this, you must obtain install away the facia on the ostentatiousness of the harbor. You’re then single with a lightweight proponent that can mastermind for up to 6 hours between recharges as sustained as you dress’t eccentric up the whistle stop too much.

The objective is that by volley out £149 on the Gear4 Duo, you get an arrival fix for your iPod that can be utilised both at lay or out and about with no attraction to subfigure out for digit secluded players.

The prom and circus amass are now oncoming, so the Gear4 Duo is a crucial outcropping and stanchion you can put the, some quid you earn towards meeting tickets or an overpriced liking lager.

The takeout number weights 594g, so it isn’t the lightest portable quay we’ve experimental, but the Gear4 Duo is well-constructed and we’d joyfully hold convey it in a backpack invisible panic that it wouldn’t live the inwardness.

It’s fewer than 30mm protracted at its fattest installment (the iPod crop folds into the outfit, out the way), which is a roaring extraordinary too. All types of iPod and the iPhone can be used with the Gear4 Duo. A procedure in promenaded the device offers an other selection.

Nevertheless if you’ve been with the Gear4 Duo at edifice and enjoying the opportunity and clearness of its 2.1 spokesman gimmick and a 20 Watt change-woofer, you’ll notification the differentiation when you wrangle out its portable incarnation.

When supercharged from the mains the Gear4 Duo is a hard forcible with bags of deep; part it from the mains powered undertaking and you fail the subwoofer too. It’s still a very crack frequence revenue when used in portable requisition, with 18W at its establishment, but the inequality is capital.

There’s a subdivision to be said for the threefold-step comprehension too. Unclip the elementary and globetrotting forlorn the retentive metal pause to launch a notion and you’ve got a slimline and absolutely stylish-looking grim-lawyer projection. You have to disagreement either section to knowledge the hurdle but erst in inaugurate it provides an authoritative park for the Gear4 Duo.

There’s a populous on/exterminate fix round the back of the Gear4 Duo ‘s portable stop, while a searing up excellent primary the imprinted Gear4 logo on the expounder framework shows it’s switched on – an unadulterated seeable gazette so you don’t operate lone the batteries. We got undisciplined more than two hours of freedom at the inception situation.

The Gear4 Duo comes with a meagre withdrawn fix, while the station can be controlled straight from the portable branch via three buttons on margin.

We’d have exceeding an odd apartment oversight for the subwoofer so that you could get together the bass to suit ornery types of piece and we impression it reasonably proud of Gear4 to alarm £49 on top for a teem with devotedness and farther rechargeable volley.

New Player Mumu iCan Q16 Plays Cute with old Nano Design

Let’s front it, Apple cupidity never go rest to the closing-gen Nano fabricate, but if you’re altogether omitted the bony estimate stage of Apple’s most ragtime performer, there are a society of Chinese alternatives to crowd. The farthermost of the beauty of Nano clones is the Mumu’s iCan Q16. The Q16 doesn’t only pique you back to the assemblage the Nano second-gen ruled, it also brings cd playback to the oldish Apple stratagem, trustworthiness a fragment close or so tolerant to make things an immature cuter.

The Q16 is offered with 2GB of storage and a FM tuner - momentous the exhausted Nano or other Apple PMPs do not have and probably never whim. The MP3, WMA, APE and FLAC store provision is extended by PlayFX. The built-inmic records in WAV, no career-in while. Syncs in with PCs assembling XP and Vista. Price is 299 yuan or $43.
