One would expect more ambition from a prolific manufacturer of computer monitors would be more ambitious about their portable media player. But then again, maybe this is to be expected from such a company. The VPD400 MovieBookis your basic non-touchscreen PMP. The 4.3-inch LCD display should be any less reliable than ViewSonic LCD monitors. There’s [...]

We rarely hear of a firmware update for a cheap Chinese PMP. Benss has recently announced one for the iCool BX-96 gamer with good reason. The BX-96 looks sleek, despite the PSP looks. The new firmware update, which can be uploaded from Benss site, gives the BX-96 a new 3D user interface. My Chinese is [...]

All of China is embracing the benefit of portable players with high-def video support. iToos prooves to be no exception as it came out with a 720p PMP earlier this year. The iToos M8 supports 1080p or full-HD as they call it in China. It will have an HDMI port of course, so that one [...]

This is by far the most incredible PMP design we’ve seen this year, and it’s not a concept folks. The MyRacer Lisse Q10 is an official announcement.

This HDMI-, HD-, OTG-supporting PMP from ONDA gives one an unbelievable decent viewing rsolution of 800 × 480 on its 5.0-inch screen. The VX575HD is also no wash out with up to 170 degrees viewing. That’s pretty good, but what I like about this PMP and what I think will distinguish it from the rest [...]

When we reported on Difital-Cube’s iStation T3 PMP, we’ve predicted the multimedia device will eat up iPod Touch sales. It wasn’t to be and the company thinks a change of hardware design will do it (definitely not an iPhone clone). It’s still a 4.3-inch (480 x 272) touchscreen PMP but no mention of fancy HD [...]

While other high-def PMPs have taken to supporting 720p, Cube want to up the ante to 1080i. Now, for the crucial question: do we really need our media players to have 1080i support? The 5.0-inch H600HD itself only supports 800 x 480 screen-wise and with only 4GB of storage, I doubt if you’ll be able [...]

Everything you wat to know about the ZuneHD is available at the Microsoft store–give or take a few details, oh, like, the Nvidia Tegra chip. The San Francisco Chronicle says this about the Nvidia Tegra: When Nvidia talks about Tegra APX 2600, they mention it having “eight processors” integrated into a system-on-chip (SoC). These are the [...]

It doesn’t say Nvidia Tegra anywhere but we know it’s there and, besides the OLED, it’s the most interesting feature of the new YP-M1 PMP. According to Akihabaranews, the Samsung M1 is already on sale in Korea, with DMB TV added. The capacity comes in three versions: 8GB, 16GB and 32GB. The M1 plays WMV, [...]
