If you’re planning to be among the first owners of the Palm Pre, you better be an early riser because it seems that there will only be a limited number of stock available when it goes on retail next month. Here’s a quote from Reuters of Sprint CEO Dan Hesse discussing the Palm Pre: “We don’t [...]

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 [...]

  We’ve met the Blue Magic Q12 girl before but we knew her as the RAmos miniQ biki beauty, one of five, actually (click here if you want to see the others), so we’re quite thrilled when we found out that she’s been inducted as one of the Multi-Media Beauties on one Chinese site. Now, we [...]

Sporting a few design cues that were probably taken from Samsung’s Croix, the D886 from Shenzhen Thomson sadly lacks the phone capability and 3MP camera of the formerly mentioned device. What it does offer, though, is support for MPEG-4 and AVI videos, and MP3, WMA and WAV audio files (with ID3 tags). Interestingly, [...]

China PMP has Different Design, Ordinary Features

Saturday, December 1, 2007

0 Comments

This anonymous PMP from Shenzhen Thomson takes an approach that is quite different from what we’ve seen previously. No cutting-edge (or even very exciting) features here, but you do get a rather unique design. Not to say that it’s good-looking or anything. The PMP supports MTV videos and MP3, WMA and AMV audio files. It [...]

Ordinary-Looking China PMP has G-Sensor, Plays Flash Videos

Tuesday, November 27, 2007

Despite the ordinary (albeit shiny) design, Shenzhen Thomson’s D887-2 comes with a few interesting features, most notable of which is the built-in G-sensor. Pity the company forgot to explain just what that feature is used for (most probably motion control, since the 1GB, 2GB and 4GB internal memory options are all flash-type). Yup, we’ve [...]

China Company Equips PMP With G-Sensor, Doesn’t say why

The flash memory-based D887-1 from Shenzhen Thomson (which might be this Thomson) is equipped with a G-Sensor (a.k.a. motion sensor), which is commonly used in HDDs to minimize damage in case of a drop. We’re not quite sure what it does in this product, but it could possibly be a form of motion-control similar [...]

China PMP Saves Your Power, Converts Your Videos

Friday, August 31, 2007

Shenzhen Wistar is offering the F1 PMP, which comes with a 2.4-inch QVGA screen that allows brightness adjustment and normal/power saving modes (useful for those long trips without a socket in sight). While the product plays only AVI files, it thoughtfully comes with conversion software for noncompatible videos. Audio-wise, MP3 and WMA formats (with ID3 tags) [...]
