It doesn’t say Nvidia Tegra anywhere but we know it’s there and, besides the OLED, it’s the most interesting feature of the new YP-M1 PMP. According to Akihabaranews, the Samsung M1 is already on sale in Korea, with DMB TV added. The capacity comes in three versions: 8GB, 16GB and 32GB. The M1 plays WMV, [...]

PMP Today is always up for new PMP brands. The iMux (or :Muz) brand has just launched three new devices: MU-959–is a 3-inch touchscreen PMP featuring the VibeTouch haptics technology. It’s a dual-core PMP that gives it gaming capabilities and should also be good enough to support multiple video codecs. It should be in the top-range [...]

We don’t really look at Korean PMPs as cheap and Oracom’s W10 is no exception. The 2GB will set you back $63, the 4GB $80 and the 8GB about $104. The specks aren’t that great either: a 2-inch 220 x 176 screen and a so-so 44.8×91.4×9.9mm form factor. Video playback of course, text viewing and [...]

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, [...]

If having an English-language site means that the Korean manufacturer Mintpass will be selling some of its products to the U.S., Enlgand, Canada, Australia, etc. then by all means we must expect the U.S., Europe launch of the Mintpad soon. The Mintpass Mintpad is a would-be revolutionary 3-inch touchscreen PMP that serves as a note-taking [...]

When the new iPod Shuffle was announced, we all forget there’s one other MP3 player that might beat it on size without sacrificing necessary features such as navigable buttons and even a screen. Announced a year ago, the mobiBLU Cube 3, features an OLED screen and buttons in a package so tiny, the surface area [...]

If you can’t be bothered by a 7-inch netbook anymore, maybe the 7-inch Viliv X70, a 7-inch UMPC, would make you think again. The Atom-based Viliv X70 resembles the hardware of the Viliv S5. It has a 1.33GHz Intel Atom processor, 1GB of RAM and a 32GB SSD storage. It connects to 3G networks and [...]

PMPs are not just about being a fashion statement anymore. The days of the featureless iPod is over. What we have today is an iPod Touch that’s as useful as a netbook and an upcoming Zune HD that is simply light years apart compared to what most people are used to in a 3.3-inch screen. [...]

The 4.3-inch touchscreen RD-PM10 has a sliding QWERTY keyboard and, unfortunately, a Windows CE OS that could’ve been XP or even Android. There’s no WiFi or Bluetooth and instead of Intel Atom, a DaVinci chip runs the entire device. Even though it plays DivX, Xvid and OGG, we sort of imagine how this device would’ve [...]

We’ve been waiting for a formal tech review* of the iRiver P7 PMP. The touted “Magazine touch user interface” is fairly intriguing. What else can iRiver contribute to user-friendly interface that Apple hasn’t already (iriver P.ple P7 specs here)? It plays RM/RMVB, AVI, WMV, MP4, DAT/MPG, 3GP/K3G and FLV as well as MP3, WMA, WAV, OGG, [...]
