Okay, so the title is an exaggeration but one has to admit that eStarling’s new touchscreen photo frame is impressive–as far as digital frames go. Each unit will have its own GMail address for photo uploading from via email. The WiFi lets you connect Facebook, Photobucket and Flickr and display photos from there. It makes sense for photo frames to have access to photo-sharing sites and social networking sites. The eStarling 802.11n plays videos as well and with the touch-operation, even grandmother can operate it. The 10.2-inch screen should be enough for home use, and the $249.9 price isn’t too bad considering the functionality. I also like the matter-of-fact name this device goes by.

The 7-inch touchscreen Cyberus ID700WTA is, practically speaking, a PMP but it does support eBooks, which the company is touting as an alternative to the E-Ink readers like the Amazon Kindle and the Barnes and Noble Nook. It also has WiFi connectivity and a user-interface that resembles the iPhone UI. Movie support is a big one on the Cyberus: AVI, MPEG4, DIVIX, XIVID, WMA, JPG, BMP, TIFF, PNG. As for eBooks, you have PDF support and TXT. For a product like this one, user-friendliness means a lot. Unfortunately, Sungale hasn’t accompanied their press release with a demo video. Suffice it to say that the $279 price tag is hardly reasonable if it didn’t come with leather case and support for YouTube, Picasa and GMail.

We bring to you once more another dirt-cheap PMP from China. Yinlips is becoming a popular brand here at PMP Today. If this company keeps churning out interesting-looking devices like the Phantom PMP and mini projector and price them cheaply, we’d also keep on posting about their products. The Yinlips YDP308 is an under-$100 PMP with a 3-inch screen, format support that is the envy of the iPod and a 7.5mm thickness. The form factor on this one will not shame you, even among your iPod or iPhone-owning friends. The only downside is the low-capacity 4GB built-in storage. You can do much with that, not unless it supports SD cards, which isn’t mentioned.

Multimedia formats supported
video: AVI, RM, RMVB, FLV at 30fps
audio: MP3, WMA, WAV, APE, FLAC
The YDP308 plays 7 hours of music and 2 hours of video
Price: $82

The photo above suggests that the Yinlips YDP800 can project a bigger image of your gaming screen. If this PMP does support it, I’d be lining up to get myself one. We’re not getting a lot of details of this mini Projector and MP4 player from IMP3. They say it can project up to 12 lumens and play 64-bit games. Wireless control is also supported. The YDP800’s Alibaba page, however, says only 32-bit gaming support and emulation for NES, GBA, GB, GBC, SMC, SFC. Alibaba also specifies an LCOS projector that supports 80 inches maximum projection. Other specs: 3.5-inch LCD display, infrared remote and infrared handheld wireless control, support for 16GB microSD. Yinlips will be the first manufacturer to make a mini projector portable player available to the public. I’m not surprised. Oh, btw, the YDP800 weighs all of 300g.

All of China is embracing the benefit of portable players with high-def video support. iToos prooves to be no exception as it came out with a 720p PMP earlier this year. The iToos M8 supports 1080p or full-HD as they call it in China. It will have an HDMI port of course, so that one can connect it to a bigger LCD TV to enjoy that higher resolution as the 5-inch LCD screen on the M8 can hardly play 1920 x 1080 pixels. Video codec support is generous: H.263/H.264, MKV, RM, RMVB, RV8 / 9, MPEG4/ASP, VOB, DAT, ASF, WMV, MPEG1 / 2 and so is music support: MP3, WMA, OGG, WAV, APE, FLAC, MP2, RA, AAC and includes LRC lyrics display support. There’s an FM tuner and recorder too. Other specs like memory size and retail price are unknown. It doesn’t stay touchscreen and the lack of tactile buttons on the photo gives me hope.

Multimedia Internet devices are invading the Chinese market and SmartQ is one brand name to watch out for. The SmartQ V7 Internet Tablet is one of the more intriguing MID designs out there, though we will not be surprised if this were only a relabel of the SmartQ 7. They sure look the same. The V7 will follow the SmartQ V5, which we’ll post about later and which will therefore make the SmartQ V series of internet tablets.. As for the V7, it will be 1080p full high-def capable with HDMI out like the V5. It has a 7-inch LCD touchscreen, WiFi, Bluetooth and OTG. It is powered by an Arm 11 processor (how difficult is it to give this one a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor?) and will have 256MB of RAM. It’s obviously a stylus touchscreen device with. We’ll report more details about the V7 once it comes. For now, we have another photo after the break.

This is probably one of the most uninteresting annoucnement this month. The MPIO V7 is a 3-inch touchscreen PMP with haptics and shake control. It is available in 4GB for 129,000 won ($112) and 8GB for 159,000 won ($138). It’s not the most featured Korean PMP but the price more than makes up for what you’d be missing (take a look at the MPIO V10). Another notable feature is the FM transmitter for your car.

Chinese PMP buyers are spoiled for features, but rarely are they treated with superb craftsmanship. Dutch manufacturer Philips thinks it’s time the big country gets a taste of the good life with the recently announced SA075 720P HD PMP. Last month, all we knew was that the Philips SA075 was launching exclusively in China. We know it supports 720p videos, and we know the 800 x 480 screen resolution for the 4.3-inch screen and an HDMI so users can fully enjoy those 720p videos on a larger screen.

What we didn’t know and know now: it is a full touchscreen, and it has a leather backing for luxurious handling. Still no price has been announced. Hopefully, we get a 32GB version (though it looks like the unit above only has 4GB). Just for a PMP with leather accents, there’s no such thing as too much storage.
