We’ve had doubters when we posted about RAmos’s latest wide- touchscreen PMP, the T8 PMP, may people thought it was just an altered iPod photo. The T8, though, is definitely real and RAmos may have started production already of this 4.3-inch player. Besides the rendered photo above, they have thrown in some initial specs as [...]

Not much info yet from MUMU Music Wyatt, about their new and fancy-buttoned ican MP3 player, except that it has a 1.5-inch TFT screen and support for Mp3 and APE, FLAC lossless. It’s supposed to play videos but we cannot say which files it supports. It does have PlayFX audio enhancement. It’s also very thin, [...]

Ainol’s U80 is the Toshiba Gigabeat ideal image of a PMP. The hardware is everything Toshiba designers would have wanted a PMP to be. It’s small, pretty and thin and the new U80SE is even thinner by .8mm than its predecessor at 8.8mm. The U80SE offers QVGA viewing on a 2.2-inch screen and it will [...]

Toshiba upgrades the Gigabeat T401 and dubs it T802. Since the T401 already has WiFi added some months ago, the only real upgrade is the additional 4GB of storage. The 8GB will come in handy if you’re in Japan as USEN video service offers 90 videos for free. These free titles will balloon in June [...]

Gemei’s new “United States” series model is a shiny piece of media-playing slimness. Sure it looks rather like an LG Shine in all its metallic glory, but imitating LG’s Chocolate II hasn’t exactly been bad for Chinese MP4 players. Looking at the X100 on profile on the left of the picture, this one has got [...]

The Ainol T20 has the familiar looks we all come to love in Chinese Apple imitators, in which Ainol made significant contributions. The T20 has a 2.8-inch QVGA screen, which is navigated via tactile buttons (sorry) on the side. The retractable analog TV antenna is pretty cool, tough, even for a touchless iPod Touch [...]

Chinese MP4 manufacturer Chuwi has a new touch screen media player for all of us to consider. Notwithstanding, the brick-like dimensions (it almost seems appropriate to throw this PMP on your enemy), the S800’s 2.9-inch WQVGA (400 × 240) impresses. What is even more impressive is that beside that single “Home” button below the [...]

This is not the sleekest SAFA PMP we’ve seen this year. In fact, Safa’s new device is close to being the ugly duckling of the group, especially next to Casiopea. The screen is really small, so small, SAFA didn’t bother adding video support. It’s only MP3, WMA, WAV, AOE abd FLAC lossless audio as well [...]

What is happening to Meizu, one of China’s most promising PMP manufacturers? First, their iPhone-rivaling M8 will not be in consumer hands until next year (as early as early 2008 or as late as the end of that year), and then it announced a tantalizing iTouch-killing concept that may never see the light of [...]

Samsung’s Serenata is the handset manufacturer’s second time to team up with the Danish company Bang & Olufsen. On the get go, the Serenata is a far more usable mobile phone than the Serene. In today’s standard, the Serenata is a bulky design weighing a ton at 136g. It’s a triband GSM, CDMA and 3G [...]
