The Korean MP3 player maker SAFA has always been keen on design innovation. The first SAFA XING was one of the cutest DAPs we’ve written about. Though the XING didn’t exactly achieve an iPod-like popularity it didn’t stop SAFA from continuing the model. The SAFA XING LED looks like a departure from the original, but [...]

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, [...]

We’ve featured quite a number of edictionaries in this blog. These devices never seem to lack entertainment features, but that may change soon with the introduction of the SAFA Magic Study. This educational gadget seems focused on education. It supports video playback but these videos are to be educationaly, that is strictly stated in the [...]

We can’t deny that Minigigi’s C3000 is a handsome player. It has a 2.4-inch 320 x 240-pixel screen and competitively thin at only 7mm.

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 [...]

SAFA Casiopea, I have to admit, looks as dazzling as its namesake constellation spelled with two ss’s. Not that I can find my way through the nightsky to point Cassiopeia to you, but I’ve seen star maps. Anyway, after introducing DIA, SAFA obviously meant to dazzle us some more with more diamonds. Usually found in [...]
