Video Review of RAmos T8HD

Here is a video review of a nice PMP form Ramos.

The T8HD use the same body design as the older RAmos T8, there really is no difference between the two, even their weight is almost identical, however the quality of the actual screen seems to be better, even though its only 480 x 272 resolution, images do look nice on the 4.3" screen and it has fairly decent viewing angles.

The UI is exactly the same as we saw on the RAmos T11RK, so you can expect nice kinetic scrolling as well as album art music browsing. The T8HD has the RK2806 media processor at its core, so it is capable of support videos upto 1280 x 720 resolution and supports AVI, FLV, MKV and RMVB video formats, it also supports MP3, WMA, FLAC and APE audio formats.

Overall the RAmos T8HD is a nice touch screen player with a very interactive and attractive UI.

iRiver Smart HD PMP Video

Formerly dubbed the iRiver K1, the recently announced Smart HD should be a real alternative to the iPod Touch and the ZuneHD. The touchscreen of the Smart HD is quite responsive and the vuilt-in accelerometer has a few user interface tricks: you can tilt to browse. You can multitask as well by minimizing the player so you can browse. This is a WiFi-enabled player with a Windows CE operating system. If priced cheap enough it should be a good alternative to pricier touchscreen WiFi PMPs.

Archos 7: PMP with Android

The Archos 7 with Android will be one of the possibilities that we find in the market about this nice PMP. And if the leaks are true, basic specifications and comes with an attractive price: around 200 euros.


The Archos 7 would have 7-inch screen with 800 × 480 pixels, 8GB internal memory, plus a webcam. Without knowing details of the autonomy or connectivity, we seem to offer something very basic to good price.

iRiver M20 is mixture of a super PMP and GPS!

It seems that no one can stop iRiver at the moment , their "play of the day" is the M20, a PND (Personal Navigation Device) equipped with a 7 inches monitor, navigation functions, multimedia functions, DMB...
It has a DMB tuner and audio and video features of some sort... yup, pretty scarce on the info. I'm going to hazard a guess that the M20 uses a touchscreen, but that's only a guess.

No words on the pricing and availability

Iriver has announced the Iriver Spinn (amazing player)

As if to prove that it's not even close to backing out of the MP3 player market, iRiver debuted a whopping twelve new MP3 players at this year's CES. The company also introduced a sweet-looking, multi-functional home entertainment system as well as three E-Dictionary products and two GPS devices. Naturally, not all of the gadgets are available in the U.S., but it's still an impressive feat given the relatively small size of the company.

It was hard to narrow it down, but I think my favorite is the Spinn, which is still under development and--sadly--may not make it to the States. This compact media player features a unique spinning hinge that lets you "flip" pages on the screen (a la the iPhone) and otherwise easily navigate the device using just one hand. If nothing else, you gotta hand it to iRiver for its ability to think up innovative interfaces. And actually, the overall design of the Spinn is quite attractive. It's sleek and slim with a mostly brushed silver finish, and the 3.2-inch WQVGA screen (featuring a 480x272 pixel resolution) looks nice. In addition to music, video, and photo support, this player will offer a built-in FM tuner, voice recording, a text viewer and dictionary, support for Flash games, and the ability to receive DMB content (in the regions where it is available). The Spinn will even have integrated stereo Bluetooth functionality for those who prefer to do their listening sans wires. As iRiver is undecided on whether this player will make it to the U.S. market, there's no pricing at this time, but we do know that it's set to come in three capacities: 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB.
