The MP320 MP3 player may look too much like a novelty gadget to many people, but this is one novelty device that I can get behind. It’s officially the ZARVA ZIPPO MP320, and we will gladly assume that Zippo, the lighter manufacturer, is an official partner in this. The ZIPPO MP3 player has a small [...]

Last month we showed you a new slim player from Zarva. It’s obviously got the Nano looks going, albeit a generation behind and, as we mentioned, it’s slimmer (88 x 40 x 6.4mm) than Meizu M6 which should matter to people who keep tabs of these things. It retains the original AVI, MP3, WMA and [...]

Zarva’s new V1 PMP is a slim synthesis of three media players: Meizu M6, Creative Vision M and the flash Zunes. The result is a sexy MP3 player with AVI playback added. The screen is a tiny 1.46-inch 176 × 132-pixel TFT screen, good enough for squinting at movies. For audio, you’re in luck with [...]

Now this is a case of a Chinese manufacturer cloning another Chinese manufacturer’s product. Judge for yourself. The ZARVA MV570 has a 4.3-inch wide aspect screen, plays AVI, MPG, VOB, DAT, MP3, WMA, OGG, JPEG and TXT and has an MSRP of 1,900 yuan for the 80GB. It’s pricier than Blog Tang A+, which goes [...]

The Zarva MV-208 PMP has finally arrived in stores, oblivious of the new iPod Nano, Apple’s relatively low-priced PMP. Okay, it’s not as pretty as the press photos. It actually looks like the ugly little sister of the MV-209. The MV-208 functions as a DV and portable gamer like the MV-209 and views videos upright [...]

The ZARVA DV MV209 is one of the more impressive PMP convergence device from China covered here. The onboard camera (with video capability) is perhaps a little disappointing on paper at only 1.3 2.0 megapixels but admittedly the photo above is a little on, well, the impressive side. It’s main attraction is the 2.8-inch [...]

He, it’s not like the Chinese don’t make good press photos of new products but the results on the new Gemei X-760 is just remarkable, and a sub-species apart from its predecessor. The screen is a 3-inch 4:3 LTPS TFT with 16 million colors. It’s compatible with RM, RMVB, DAT and AVI video files. The [...]

Another thin PMP is coming soon to the market. The Hacha PC20 boasts a 3-inch screen but managing a slim 7.7 thickness. There’s not much information yet but it’s a video and MP3 player with photo viewing and TXT support. In short, it’s something to look forward to from China. This is yet another [...]

ZARVA will launch the MV208 in a few days, an exciting complement to another pretty player slated for a mid-July debut, the MV209. The control buttons on both sides of the 2.8-inch screen tell us you can play games on landscape mode. From what we know so far, the specs are similar to its twin, [...]

Chinese PMP-manufacturer ZARVA seems to be heading downward numerically with its newly launched MV209. We’ve written in the past about the MV300, which is a PMP with a DV (digital video) camera. While the MV300 boasts a 3.5-inch touchscreen, the new MV209 is a 2.8-incher with the touchscreen exchanged for a four tactile buttons. It’s [...]
