This is not the thinnest PMP we’ve featured but it’s pretty thin for a 720p player, especially if it functions well, and it looks like it would. The 3-inch LCD screen has a 400 x 240, not nearly good enough for 720p but you can connect it to a bigger screen with TV out. If [...]

Newman’s (Newsmy) 720p HD portable media player seems to be the most complete HD player out of China. It has a 4.3-inch screen and an 8.8mm form factor in luscious metal. Sure, it only boasts 720p, unlike the 1080p trend nowadays, but it makes up for the lower resolution support with a bigger 16GB capacity [...]

Newman is not the most fashionable manufacturers of PMPs, but they do try to give us everything that we need in the specs side. Now, they’re on the HD bandwagon with the all-new Newsmy A8HD. The 4.8-inch touchscreen only supports 480 x 272 pixels but with video output, you can view 720p videos. There’s 8GB [...]

With only 2GB of storage and a 1.5-inch screen, no one would mistake Newman’s Nunu X05 PMP as anything other than a fashion statement. But what a fashion statement, if this cheap MP3 player really will look like this when it hits store shelves. 1.5-inch screen 78.8mm × 39.7mm × 7.4mm AMV video WMA, MP3, APE voice recorder 2GB for 199 [...]

We told you once that the shiny Newsmy XO MP3 player could’ve been made of mithril. We’re wrong because the device is made of more magical stuff than mithril. Newsmy has now dubbed it as the thinnest MP4 player ever at 5mm, thinner even than that Reachgood PMP and slightly thicker than this thin MP3 [...]

The metallic sheen on this Newman MP3 player reminds me of the mythical mithril from the Lord of the Rings universe. Also called, real silver, mithril is an impregnable and flexible material use by the best of Eleves to protect themselves. The reality of the Newsmy XO is less glorious. This is a cheap DAP [...]

We’ve been receiving quite a lot of requests and advice regarding portable media players and we usually help out when we can, and we do listen.

In this blog, we know a lot of great Chinese products. Unfortunately, we tend to mix them up with bad ones (and not so bad ones) and even really bad ones. We’re sorry about this… well, not really sorry, but once in a while we sight something that makes us feel good about are non-discriminating [...]

You get a feeling this recession is going to be a long one when retailers like Best Buy begin to practically give away cool gadgets like the Samsung S2, otherwise known as the Pebble. The S2 used to sell at the same price point as the iPod Shuffle and I suppose no one was really [...]

O2 will be distributing the 4.1-inch touchscreen Toshiba TG01 in Germany. This is an exclusive for O2, which will be up against T-Mobile Germany’s iPhone offering. No pricing announced yet. The TG01 is a huge phone, the biggest we’ve seen from a major manufacturer and only “slightly” slimmer than the fantastic and Skype-enabled VX1000 from Newman, [...]
