We spoke too soon about the Slacker G2. CNET thinks the player is important enough for a full review and they have it on site. The Slacker G2 is a video-less player but the Slacker online music support is just excellent. Yep, everybody is saying as far as WiFi-connected music service is concerned. So, is [...]

The Slacker G2 has a review from Gadling. Why not CNET, you ask? The 2.5-inch QVGA screen will not be playing a lot of videos but the ability to customize your online radio station may be worth the unannounced asking price of the unit and the $10/ month or $90/ a year Slacker Radio subsciption. [...]

This year, we had three very good MP4 players coming out of China: the RAmos T8, ONDA VX787 and the Ainol V3000. The RAmos T8 iMovie has the advantage on the storage side maxing out at 32GB while the Ainol V3000 is definitely king on the screen resolution while the VX787 may have its very [...]

The new Archos portable media player and Internet device has just been thoroughly reviewed at Archoslounge. Though the software is still in beta, Archos somehow thought it fit to make the device available so be warned. Besides the nice form factor and the incredible big screen, the improved processor is really something users will enjoy. Archos’ [...]

Although Pasen was responsible for getting this site in hot waters due to its illicit use of an artists intellectual property (see the comments section of this post), but the company did manage to come out with a cheap but workable portable media player. The video playback can run only through conversion. The resulting format [...]

A 3-inch touch screen player in a pretty sleek form factor will always get me interested. The Chuwi T8 offers a little more than your regular touchscreen PMP: it’s called “dual cover” technology. I am not sure if the video reviewer is touching his Chuwi correctly or maybe it’s an early firmware issue, but the [...]

The PMP than every bargain hunter has been swooning over has finally been videoed. The Teclast M26 is as sleek as we hoped it would be though the firmware isn’t quite ready yet. The 2.6-inch resistive touch screen isn’t as sensitive as more expensive players with capacitive touch screen, but the Wolfson chip gives music [...]

Nothingbutcreative, a cool new site we’ve heard about just now has a review of the newly announced Zen X-Fi. They have a test unit and they took their time unboxing the PMP and taking very, very good impressionistic photos of the X-Fi player from Creative and a video, which we embedded below this post. We [...]

Blogeee has done an early review of the Acer’s ultraportable, and their conclusion is that it is a genuine Eee PC killer. For 30 euros more than the original Eee PC 701, you can get a better, prettier machine with a more comfortable keyboard, better support for memory extension and the Aspire One is using [...]

Is MID the future of portable media players? I went over to the our friends site at Dap Review, which I rarely do nowadays unfortunately, and found an interesting discussion about the state of the PMP/MP3 market. The biggest players are not releasing new models often enough and manufacturers from China still have not resolved their [...]
