Shiny Video Preview: Philips' GoGear range of MP3 players
You just saw Susi taking a look at the Design Collection of TVs from Philips, now how about the GoGear MP3 player range? I mentioned one of them, the SA52, the other day which has 4GB of storage and can play…
Philips announces their GoGear SA52 PMP with 4GB capacity
Apologies, this is turning into a Philips-themed day!
The company has just announced the GoGear SA52 PMP, which plays MP3, WMA and AAC music files, along with WMV video. With 4GB of storage and a 2.8″ QVGA LCD display, it also features some controversial audio ‘upscaling’, where the Digital Signal Processor adds ‘quality’ to the compressed audio tracks.
I’m always hesitant to recommend products that enhance…
Polaroid wants a slice of Archos' pie, with their MPU-43315 PMP
Polaroid isn’t exactly renowned for its PMPs, but this 60GB MPU-43315 player looks set to give Archos a run for its money. Maybe.
With specs including a 4.3″ LCD screen, a lithium ion battery that’ll give you four hours of video playback and 16 of audio, plus the old favourites like WMV, MPEG4, MP3, WMA and WAV playback. There’s apparently…
Hauppauge reveals the pMP – portable media player and Freeview receiver
Hauppauge Digital, stalwart in its insistence that computers and TV watching should be merged in blissful unison, has revealed its latest attempt at the PMP market. The imaginatively named Hauppauge pMP sports a 3.5″, 320×240 display and is designed to sync up with any Vista or Media Center PC. It measures in at 12 x 7.8 x 2 cm and the rechargeable Lithium battery should give you around four hours of playback.
The iRiver Siren – generic but pretty little MP3 player
We’ve started paying a bit more attention to iRiver press releases ever since it revealed some pretty shiny things at CES. Here’s the first fruit of our new-found iRiver love – an update about the iRiver Siren.
The Siren’s not that special, really. We could say something about art-deco-influenced squared design and its simple yet pleasing range of three traditional colours, but that’d all be a bit unnecessary. It’s an MP3 player. It comes in 1GB and 2GB sizes, no doubt with the 2GB one costing ever-so-slightly less than twice the price of the 1GB model to encourage you to go for the extra space. We know all the mind-games they play.
CES 2008 LEFTOVERS: iRiver SPINN – complete with novelty knob
None of our CES field reporters have done anything on this yet. Odd, seeing how staggering cool it looks. iRiver’s silver Spinn handles MP3 tunes, MP4 movies, has an FM tuner, a 3.2″ LCD, does Bluetooth 2.0 with ease, has a microphone and a 160GB hard drive and so on – all the sort of stuff you’d expect from a modern electric thing that fits inside the pocket of even your tightest trousers.
BUT! iRiver’s newest media matchbox has a clever little gimmick. An analogue knob. That twiddly bit on the right there. This makes it easier for people to find and play stuff, apparently, with iRiver touting this as its “Extremely Intuitive User Interface.”
Harry Potter themed Archos 605 is just magic
Archos has announced a special edition of its 605 WiFi PMP, preloaded with the first four Harry Potter movies. It’s due on sale in January from selected Blockbuster shops here in the UK, costing £189.99.
Shiny Video Review: Archos 105 media player
Zara, queen of the Archos PMPs, checks out one of their latest models, the 105. Can its super-slim aesthetics win…
Archos 605 special edition Charlie Chaplin PMP to come pre-loaded with 10 films
Plenty of Archos-shaped news seeping out of the pus-ridden internet sore, and if that analogy doesn’t sit well with the French PMP company, then perhaps the gushing accolades the Charlie Chaplin edition model is receiving on the interwebs will compensate.
The 605…
Delectable rumour of the day: Archos to launch 3G PMP in 2008?
We love Archos PMPs here at Tech Digest, with other PMP manufacturers not quite *getting* portable multimedia devices quite like the French company.
Exciting news has reached us via PMP Today, that a 3G model will be released come 2008, allowing for high-speed web browsing…
