Here’s a product that will blur the definition of portable media player. Is it still a portable media player if it’s not too portable? I’m sure i-Luv doesn’t care much for the answer since this isn’t the first time they announced a PMP of this size. The i1166 also serves as a DVD player (DVD, DVD+/-RW, [...]

The VX777 is Onda’s best PMP so far feature-wise. In what seems like a features overdose of sorts, Onda, which is known for its widescreen PMPs, has gone ballistic and automatically nominated itself to the high-end market populated by the likes of Archos and Zune.

KNC will release the M-700 PMP this May 1 or thereabouts commemorating the Ching Ming Festival. Now, we don’t presume to know anything about the Ching Ming Festival but we love how the M-700 looks, especially those side buttons that reminds us of the Nokia XpressMusic 5310. The player has a 2.6-inch (?) 16:9 widescreen [...]
