Cheap PMPs do not have to look and feel cheap. The Memorex TouchMP is a touchscreen PMP that though not exactly packed with features gives you pretty good video support and a touchreen UI that isn’t exactly a disaster. CNET has a thorough review of the device. Bottomline: the cheapest touchscreen PMP from a reliable [...]

29. April 2009

1 Comment

Well, the Koreans knew it before any of us did. The UMID M1 sucks big time on built quality. UMPCportal was in the mood for a full review of the Mbook M1 and here’s what they have to say: Groundbreakingly portable computer Totally hand usable (no table or lap necessary) Plastic body is of poor quality Thumb keys too [...]

Review of Mintpass Mintpad

29. April 2009

0 Comments

It’s a stack of post-its says Dapreview, who has published an impression of the Mintpass mintpad. The device is plasticky with a forgettable design. Too bad that besides taking a couple of photos, Dapreview hadn’t really got into the user interface of this mini-PDA. But those two hours is enough for assurance when it comes [...]

Viliv S5 MID Review

24. April 2009

1 Comment

In terms of build, the Viliv S5 MID (or UMPC, whatever you want to call it) is one of the better buys on its niche, though we were hoping the UMID mbook improves on its current hardware. The Viliv S5 is an Atombased machine with a 4.8-inch WSVGA touchscreen. For $599 it is good value, [...]

3. April 2009

Still curious if you are willing to jump Sony’s way in your next touchscreen PMP purchase? CNET Asia has a brief review of Sony’s X1000 Walkman, the first touchscreen Walkman. One major disappointment is the low-rez 320 x 240 screen. When most new players are going to WVGA, Sony’s Walkman range lags behind in the [...]

iRiver E50 PMP Full Review

22. March 2009

3 Comments

Journal du Geek has finished their review of the iRiver E50 Metal. This is a more basic PMP than its plastic big sister the iRiver E100. It has a 1.8-inch screen and plays SMV video format, which means you won’t be playing a lot of movies on the E50. Music support: MP3, FLAC, APE, WMA, [...]

9. March 2009

1 Comment

In case you’re wondering how far Chinese PMP makers would go to prove the sound build of their products, one would be enlightened by OPPO’s pioneering effort in gadget dissection, namely of the G11 Muse. This is the first from a Chinese maker, and what can we say, we like it. They give us a look [...]

Viliv S5 Slams UMID M1 mbook

26. February 2009

4 Comments

We thought the UMID M1 mbook was a pretty cool device but hi-tech Korea doesn’t think so. While Viliv sold all 1,000 units of the S5 in pre-order, UMID’s 500 M1 mbook has some left overs. Now, we have no idea how competitive the UMPC market is in Korea. Kevin Kang of CNET thinks it’ll [...]

24. February 2009

1 Comment

Our pals at Journal du Geek finally published their review of the Meizu M8. The phone is only available in India and China for now. The Meizu M8 is not a 3G phone but my hope is that it will be once it gets released in Europe (dubbed Meizu M8 3G or something like that) [...]

Journaldugeek has an exclusive on Sony’s touchscreen Walkman, the first of the X series. We were excited when the Sony Walkman NWZ-X1000 was first announce, this being Sony’s first touchscreen PMP. We know as far as design goes, it has ways to go before beating the iPod Touch but performance is another thing altogether. Greg [...]
