While the busy front of Egoman Technology’s MD399iFOD (and that’s a sneaky little product name) may appear to be a fancy breathalyzer or some other type of medical device, it actually is a full-fledged PMP with support for MTV videos, MP3, WMA and DRM10-equipped audio files (with ID3 tags and lyrics display), and JPEG [...]

The KM-869 from Cheng Fong Technology tries to jazz up its rather mainstream design with, well, circles. Neon-green ones, to be precise. Love them or hate them, they do tend to grab attention. Anyway, the device supports MTV videos, and MP3 and WMA audio files (with ID3 tags and LRC V.0.2 lyrics display), with [...]

Here’s another relatively inexpensive Christmas present you can get for someone. NewEgg.com is selling Dane-Elec 4GB Meizus in black or white for only $99.99 ($79.99 after a $20 rebate). You even get a free New Egg universal mp3 player case with every purchase. This promo’s going to last all throughout December. The Dane-Elec [...]

We don’t have to tell you what the K35 from Shenzhen Yijingling looks like, do we? This ASF-playing (conversion software to this format included) take on Sony’s popular PSP supports MP3, WMA and WAV files, with an option for DRM9- and DRM10-equipped versions. While FM radio functionality is optional as well, e-book and digital [...]

What is happening to Meizu, one of China’s most promising PMP manufacturers? First, their iPhone-rivaling M8 will not be in consumer hands until next year (as early as early 2008 or as late as the end of that year), and then it announced a tantalizing iTouch-killing concept that may never see the light of [...]

We haven’t heard from iRiver in a while. Thankfully, Siren, its subsidiary, has a new and rather interesting PMP to offer us. The Siren DP350 is not as thick as the recent releases from the two leading PMP brands, Apple and Microsoft but it does have a nice brushed metal backing. Its brick-like form-factor [...]

The Transcend T.sonic 840 is not much of a PMP player supporting MTV, MP3, WMA, WMA-DRM10, WAV, JPG, BMP with an FM tuner, FM recorder, lyric display, world time and e-Book reading functionality. The 1.8-inch 176 x 220-pixel TFT screen won’t do for full-length movies viewing, too bad what with the 30 hours music playing [...]

The iRiver T50 is the successor to the even more oddly-shaped T10, which at least looks like a tape measure and looks good hanging on yourbelt loop. The T50 is not exactly a PMP and only plays MP3 / WMA DRM10 / OGG files and views BMP images, so obviously no video, [...]
