With a decently-sized 3.7-inch touchscreen, 5-megapixel AF ... http://www.pmptoday.com/2009/11/20/best-smartphone-for-2009-motorola-droid/ We never thought we could get one this cheap. The Meizu M8 for only 199 euros? The original iPhone clone and erstwhile iPhone killer for only $295 unlocked. Why, that's at least $100 cheaper than the original price.

It should have all the ... http://www.pmptoday.com/2009/11/20/pegatron-aquic-netbook-shows-up/ The 8.9-inch in-car Digital Cinema from Bmorn should probably never be taken out of the car, like the dude above did. Dubbed the BM-870, we hope the big screen has enough pixels to support 1920 × 1080 videos. Yes, it's a full HD PMP with no mention of GPS or ... http://www.pmptoday.com/2009/11/20/bmorn-bm-870-1080p-pmp-should-stay-in-your-car/ After Rodimus Prime and Alphatrion PMPs, Ainol frinally announced the V9000HDX Megatron. The 4.8-inch PMP is simply seething with villainy with a capacitive touchscreen and supporting full 1080p HD videos and comes with an adequate 16GB built-in. I'm also like the 800 x 480-pixel resolution LCD and the 2450mAh battery. ... http://www.pmptoday.com/2009/11/20/ainol-v9000hdx-megatron-1080p-touchscreen-pmp/ Now why do I think that the Kenwood MG-F516, MG-F508 and MG-F504 MP3 players should be sold at under $100 for the highest capacity version? For one thing, there are a good number of fancier-looking DAP (digital audio players) out there and most of them in slimmer hardware. Kenwood, of ... http://www.pmptoday.com/2009/11/20/kenwood-mg-f500-mp3-player-w-50-hour-music/ Owners of the Motorola Droid must be looking like the Incredible Hulk by now.

It doesn’t come with a 12-megapixel camera but surely won’t disappoint with its 8.1-megapixel camera, 3.5-inch AMOLED touchscreen, and 720p video recording and playback. The Kurara also features a Cortex A8 processor ... http://www.pmptoday.com/2009/11/19/sony-ericsson-kurara-features-with-cortex-a8-processor-powervr-graphics-81-mp-camera/
