Our friends at Dapreview found this one yesterday: a 160GB Archos 705 going for only $269.99 at Amazon.com, or almost half the original pricing. Dapreview has its doubts but after looking at the Amazon page, I have very little reason or none at all to doubt the price is official. Yep, Archos 5th generation prices [...]

The SWIVEL-CAM is both a DV and a camera, but its most salient feature is its 180-degree-rotating lens… ehm, borrowed from iRiver. I’m not sure if it will make a good point-and-shoot camera, given that the lens position looks a tad awkward, but with a price tag of $119.99 I think it’s worth a try. [...]

There are iPhone clones and then there are iPhone clones that break the mold in a way that we like. Take this piece of hardware from Guangxi Nanning Jiguang Trade Co., Ltd.

That’s because this PMP is built horizontally. It plays AMV and several music files with the rest of the specifications contradicting one another–for example, it also [...]

If you thought Sandisk offers really cheap PMP, check out what Newegg has to offer as a deal to Sandisk fans. The $72 (free shipping) 16GB Sansa View must be the cheapest 16GB portable media player.

Going green is never a bad thing and green novelty items are just perfect for gifts or as a little treat to yourself. The miniature camera above comes in colors and has an MP3 player within. A nice pair of headphones comes in the box. It plays OGG, WMA and MP3 files but, unfortunately, the [...]

We almost missed iView’s CES display. Thanks to Journaldugeek, we have the photo above of a veritable buffet of possibly cheap and definitely awesome MP3 players of all shapes and sizes. Yes, there’s a cross-MP3 player, but the new stuff like the mahjong characters and masks are just as interesting. These MP3 players are Shuffle [...]
