SciPhone brings us one of the first Android dual-SIM phones available at the moment. (For a real quick unboxing video in French, scroll to the end of this post.) The SciPhone N21 has been available for a month now but we have yet to come across a video of the Android-based SciPhone. Beareyes, has an [...]

French manufacturer Archos has been bitten by the budget bug lately. Despite the premium Internet tablets (e.g. Archos 5), the company has been keen on flooding the market with cheap mini-PMPs. The Archos Clipper, Vision 2 and Vision 3 have all come out this year to a pretty much disinterested public. And now they are [...]

We still know very little about the pocket-sized Android-running MID from the French company EviGroup. The teaser site is showing a curious logo and the words “truly personal computer” or to that effect, but nothing else. Everything we know comes from Pocketables and their Twittering sleuth: 5-inch touchscreen x86 CPU possibly running Windows XP WiFi, GPS, camera More at Pocketables. Updates:

French PMP manufacturer Archos has an iPod Shuffle competitor. It’s really just a screenless DAP with buttons and an unbelievable 11 hours of playback for a full charge. The Archos Clipper will set you back 35 euros for the 2GB. Right now the Archos Clipper doesn’t sound like much more than another option for those [...]

Still remember that Sony Walkman with built-in speakers we featured a couple of weeks ago? Well, it’s just appeared on a French site and is now available for retail. Two versions are available: an 8GB (NWZ-S544) model and a 16GB (NWZ-S6545) variant. Apart from the obvious built-in stereo speakers, this new S-series Walkman features a [...]

The French PMP manufacturer Archos has been having a binge of new releases lately, and they’re not stopping just yet. The Archos 2 Vision has been hinted upon recently and now it’s out in the flesh. It looks special at least, compared to the too-regular Archos 2. It’s a 2-inch player with a touch-sensitive slide [...]

It’s an original NokiPhone! It features dual-slide design reminiscent of the N95 and a 3.2-inch touchscreen, also benefits from dual SIM cards and a face that is as much iPhone as other, more brazen iPhone clones. It’s actually both Nokia clone and iPhone clone, which makes perfect sense considering the features. Too bad, NokiPhone has [...]

While Akihabaranews is good enough to note Chinavasion’s CVFH-N03-4G PMP and NES emulator, we are more impressed by this player, especially its $50 price tag. It’s an MP4 (24fps) and MP3 player (complete specs below) with a 1.3 MP camera and NES support. It also supports BIN, SAV gaming formats. It’s a really cheap NES [...]

This is about as good a time as any to think of investing in high-capacity MP3 players, and maybe the perfect time to launch Bluetooth 3.0. French media behemoth Thomson has announced mp3HD, a new lossless ‘hybrid’ MP3 format, which not only offers the sound detail lost in a normal MP3, but remains compatible with your [...]
