The new iRiver D7 (from the Dicple line of e-Dictionaries) is a smaller device of the same form factor as the D50n announced last CES. The D7 has a 3-inch 480 x 272 touchscreen, PMP and e-dic functionality as well as optional DMB. It looks like a great video and music player with 30fps video [...]

Just a few days ago, we reported that Denmark’s ONN (also Owen) has entered the Chinese market. And here it is, the Owen V1. Hopefully the pink things behind it are pouches included in the box. They look awfully cute. The Owen V1 plays MP3, WMA, ASF and OGG with SRS WOW audio. It also plays [...]

More cheap electronics from iRiver. The E150 succeeds the E100, which last we heard was selling for $59 for the 8GB version. Both the E100 and the E100 Season 2 have been reorted to have sold rather briskly in Korea but what iRiver will be looking for in the E150 is US and European success. The [...]

At first glance, the iRiver P7, isn’t big news. The boxy hardware isn’t a big draw and there are a good number of PMPs with dominant touchscreens, even cheap ones from China. If you think that you would be wrong. The P7 brings to consumers a different user experience altogether. Homescreen presents a “magazine-style” navigation. [...]

The PMP-e-Dctionary models from iRiver makes us very curious. We don’t know how successful the iRiver Dicple is in Korea and Japan, where it’s available, but the couple or so Dicple eDictionaries I’ve seen owned by Korean friends have mildly impressed me. I’m sure I’d rather go for UMID’s M1 mBook, which seems to have [...]

Korea’s Meritech has a unique-looking touchscreen PMP for us. On the other hand, besides the metallic frame around the screen, the Meritech M35 does not really possess too much originality. It has a 3.5-inch touch screen, a PND-type user-interface and a DMB TV tuner. It has SRS WOW HD and support for MP3, WMA, ASF, [...]

The Amber F1 looks like a fancy lighter at the back but boasts a 2.8-inch movie-playing screen in front framed with the most desirable metal in the world. Whatever Cooper, a manufacturer we’ve never heard of before, is thinking when it decided to launch this gilded media player, we are doubly impressed that the [...]

Best Wisdom Industrial’s BW-M2802 is a glossy black PMP. What else do you need to know? Well, fine, it supports a variety of formats, including M-JPEG, FLV and WMV videos, MP3, WMA, DRM, WMA, OGG, WAV, APE and FLAC audio files, and JPEG, BMP, GIF and PNG images. The device has a 2.8-inch [...]

Despite its looks, which seem more appropriate for a shelf display than a portable device, the BW-M2404 from Best Wisdom Industrial supports a range of audio and video formats, including M-JPEG, FLV and WMV (QVGA resolution at 30fps), and MP3, WMA, DRM, WMA, OGG, WAV, APE and FLAC (SRS WOW and HD effects, AEF [...]

Need a break? Well, Shenzhen Holide’s got just the thing for you, the HM-1303. Sure, the device sports video (RM, RMVB, AVI, DAT, FLV, MPG and MPEG) and audio (MP3, WMA, APE and FLAC) playback compatibility, but it’s the game support that really promises leisure time: NES (GB, GBC and GBA), MD, SFC, Neo [...]
