The most sought after Creative future-ware remains just that, future-ware. The ZEN X-Fi2 is a successor of the ZEN X-Fi, a tad more portable and a touchscreen. The hardware design does not stray far from Creative’s previous ZEN PMPs. It also offers pricing that will be very familiar to fans of Creative. Specs: 3.0-inch touchscreen MP3, WMA, AAC, [...]

After the iRiver B30, it’s time for the iRiver E200 to come out for its own photo-op. The disappointing feature is the design, which doesn’t stray at all from the E100 design. The buttons are now touch-sensitive hardware, instead of the clunky old directional pad. The screen has also been increased to 2.8 inches. It [...]

The 4.3-inch touchscreen and WiFi-enabled iRiver P35 PMP finally has a 32GB version available. It features the SPINN control and the delightful Magazine UI. For about $389 in Korea, looks likely to be distributed in the U.S. and elsewhere in the world. With the additional microSD supporting up to 16GB cards, it’s a pretty good [...]

The new user interface dubbed “Magazine” by iRiver will have another hardware showcasing it. The iRiver NV Classic seems unperturbed by the new iPhone 3G S, which features a built-in compass and turn-by-turn navigation. Theoretically, an all-in-one computer like the iPhone can drive a device like the iRiver Classic out of business, but perhaps drivers [...]

PMPs are not just about being a fashion statement anymore. The days of the featureless iPod is over. What we have today is an iPod Touch that’s as useful as a netbook and an upcoming Zune HD that is simply light years apart compared to what most people are used to in a 3.3-inch screen. [...]

You can now go on over to JetMall and and maybe think hard about buying a COWON D2+. It’s not the most fashionable PMP out there and not the cheapest either, but it is a COWON. No opitions for color, there is only black. Storage options are 8GB ($139.99) and 16GB ($179.99). List of features from [...]

More touchscreen PMPs and like many Korean and Chinese models they have DVB-T TV thrown in, and even WiFi. Hey! No pricing for these PMPs yet but if they have a good-enough user interface (it will run uCLinux OS) and a lower-than-average MSRP, I’d be thinking long ad hard about making one of these mine. [...]

Samsung may have something big with their MBP200, a PMP with a built-in Pico Projector. The MBP200 is sleeker than this other Pico Projector PMP from Sunview, reason enough to expect the MBP200 on the gadget bestseller list. The MBP200 has a 2.2-inch screen QVGA resolution and a projection resolution of HVGA. It plays DivX, Xvid, [...]

The P.Ple P20 is now showing on iRiver’s official site and it has been formally nickname the multimedia player for professionals. I say it’s the P20’s formal designation, but I don’t see a reason why non-pros should not be able to get one off the shelf if he likes it enough. The 4.1-inch 480 x [...]
