Remember the iBeat Blaxx that elicited accusations of racial insensitivity from tech bloggers? The manufacturer, TrekStor, is back with a legitimate MP4 player with MP4 and AVI support. The i.Beat Move is nothing special, though it’s curiously available in 3 sizes and form factor resemble a phone or an MP3 player more than a device [...]

Teac announces a set of the most generic-looking PMPs. None of these PMPs are touch screen but they do have decent audio support and token video playback. All three are around 50g and though prices have yet to be announced, expect very Oriental MSRPS for these babies.

While Yifang Digital’s EV808 may superficially resemble an iTouch, the huge space between the screen edges and the bezel (on the sides) is a dead giveaway that this isn’t one of Cupertino’s best. The device supports AVI videos, MP3, WMA and DRM9-equipped audio files, and JPEG images. A 2.8-inch TFT screen (not touch-type, apparently) with [...]

Keen High Technologies allows you to (somewhat) customize the MP783 with a Bluetooth module and a camera. Something like the zzzPhone, but on a much less grand scale. Anyway, standard for this device is support for AVI videos, MP3, WMA and DRM9-equipped audio files (with ID3 tags), and JPEG and BMP images. The MP783 [...]

Looks-wise, the MP784 from Keen High Technologies doesn’t do much to stand out from the crowd. Its features are nothing to phone home about either: support for AVI videos, MP3 and WMA audio files with ID3 tags (DRM9 is optional) and JPEG, BMP and GIF images. What makes it interesting, though, is the fact [...]

We don’t have to tell you what the K35 from Shenzhen Yijingling looks like, do we?

While FM radio functionality is optional as well, e-book and digital [...]

PMP manufacturers should begin announcing new hard disk players with higher capacity. Besides freshening up the iPod video, Apple has pretty much neglected the hard disk market in their new line of iPods. The HD60GD9 Media Keg has 60GB of storage for MP3, WMA, WMA-DRM9, WAV, Kenwood Lossless audio files. But, then, despite having a [...]
