The mini-PMP itself from COWON, continuing the highly-rated iAudio line, is basic but look at how they packaged the iAudio 9. It’s a nifty box and I’m sure the player settles safely in there before you open it up and push the power button. Dominic of Dapreview has already managed to open up the package; [...]

We are pretty impressed by the ONDA VX510. The 2.4-inch music and video player which provides a spiffy touch-sensitive media controls to the user and a form factor that leaves no room for complaints. ONDA has given no release date or pricing for the VX510, but rest assured this PMP will go for as low [...]

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 [...]

Gizmodo this time. They have a hands-on video of the 5G iPod Nano for us. The camera user interface of the Apple mini-PMP looks very usable. I see the 5G Nano as becoming very popular in developing countries as well as with people with a developing taste in tech (read: very young people). Though I’d [...]

The Samsung P2 with DMB Tuner, also known as PB2, will have a BMW edition will be launched soon. As you can see from the photo, the tie-in is specific to BMW motorcycles, which is pretty cool and also pretty dangerous, ie. riding on a motorcycle while listening to your PMP or even viewing DMB [...]

I thought Energy Sistem’s 2021 was cute enough, but the manufacturer doesn’t seem to agree with me and immediately announced, only 2 months after 2021 was unveiled, another series of mini-PMPs. In fact, there are two series here slated for an August release. The 2110/2111/2120 have 1.5 inches of screen space, offer 2GB or 4Gb [...]

TMSON’s B300 is one of very few Chinese PMPs I’ve seen this year that is worth importing to the West. Features-wise, it’s just your basic PMP, but even China has neglected the two-inchers lately. The B300 comes in black and white in a minimalistic industrial design that reminds us of at least couple of iRiver [...]

Korean-PMP-manufacturer Oracom is not as popular as COWON but rest assured this is a bona fide Korean manufacturer and its PMPs, though not revolutionary, is worth the 100 euros (2GB) and 115 euros (4GB) you pay for it. It’s a 2.4-inch 320 x 240-pixel touch screen player with MPEG, AVI, WMV, ASF, SMI, MP3, WMA, [...]

I have to admit, I have taken a liking to iRiver’s LPLayer. Yesterday’s hands-on images from Moveplayer (courtesy of our friends at GMP3) stated it rather succinctly: thin is not everything. I also love the speaker solution for this mini-PMP (see photo of it after the break). The prices top at 95 euros for the [...]

If you’re in the market for a little clip-on or not so clip-on MP3 player, our friends at Generation MP3 has prepared a comparison chart for us. The lightest is Samsung’s YP-S2, which is shaped like a pebble, and also ties the Zen Stone for cheapest at $39 for the 1GB. The priciest is the [...]
