Now why do I think that the Kenwood MG-F516, MG-F508 and MG-F504 MP3 players should be sold at under $100 for the highest capacity version? For one thing, there are a good number of fancier-looking DAP (digital audio players) out there and most of them in slimmer hardware. Kenwood, of course, is a well-known audio [...]

This one looks tiny with its 1.8-inch screen taking most of the front except for that massive-looking lone speaker. Official measurements is 70 x 40 x 12 mm [...]

The first ever RTA PMP (since Run Tang hasn’t bothered giving this a proper name and since it’s the first time we’ve come across the RTA brand, we’re assuming this is their first) is a pretty decent 4.3-inch 480 × 272 touchscreen player with a slim figure of only 10.7 mm. The material we’re assured [...]

Finally, a RAmos PMP with a real name. Christened iOne2 and codenamed RM990, this RAmos is the first we’ve seen that comes with a promotional video.

Besides looking like the GoGear Spark, it also includes among its attractions PlayFX, an audio enhancement technology from Microsoft with widespread use in China. The [...]

For the price of a 2GB iPod Shuffle, AOC is offering potential customers an 8GB video player. AOC is not as familiar to us as, say, Meizu, Teclast or RAmos but I have to admit the M30, the 3rd model in the ICOO series, is a classy player. It has a 3-inch screen with playback [...]

Update: All right, Zol just updated their site to include live photos of the ManMan A1. It’s already priced at 269 yuan ($39) for the 2GB version and 299 yuan ($44) for the 4GB. We’ve been waiting for Newsmy’s ManMan A1 iPod Nano or iRiver E100 competition ever since it was announced over a month ago. [...]

The Energy Sistem 4040 Touch is a rather simple 2.8-inch touchscreen media player with MPEG4, MP3, WMA , WAV, TXT, [...]

No pricing yet for the 4GB and 8GB, in which the ManMan [...]
