19. June 2009

0 Comments

An accelerometer would seem like a nice addition to a touchscreen PMP, don’t you think? Safa is making a big deal out of their new Safa G3 PMP, precisely because of the built-in accelerometer. Honestly, we prefer a refresh of the Safa Xing, perhaps adding more gigs to the tiny MP3 player. With that said, [...]
