Today ’s DAP headlines :
C|Net Asia go over the potentially awesomeiRiver U10 , Apple no longer allow business organization and websites ( other the ones directly bear on to the actual caller ) to use the term “ iPod ” in their respective public figure and NeoSol err some information on the upcomingCP-3550 PVRthrough our window . Meanwhile , a similar gadget – Cowon ’s A2 – sees its first of probably many , many ( Korean ) in - astuteness reviews .
When we first saw the iRiver U10 , most of us were rather baffled with amazement . Shortly after that the U10 received widespread cheers for its innovative design and seemingly crisp - well-defined color silver screen , resulting in a modest and comparatively poor “ U10 hoopla ” . By the sentence it in reality made it to the production line of products , many masses considered themselves to be “ oversaturated with U10 data ” . Despite said phenomenon , it ’s still interesting to see the first U10 limited review come out up here and there . C|Net Asia also claim a shotat iRiver ’s stylish little flash - base DAP slash PMP . Their verdict : 8 out of 10 star and the following summary :
The bottom business : The U10 may be the best MP3 player in a tenacious clock time to take on the blanket of an iPod killer , but its in high spirits cost may just price it out of the market .
protrude off with a new site dedicated to iPods ( or alike ) ? Here ’s a top : do n’t include the factual word “ iPod ” in your world name . Apple recently decidedthat they ’ve been have enough gratuitous publicity throughout the years . Companies and websites not directly related to the motherbrain ( Apple itself ) have been encourage to recede the “ iPod ” part in their names before – a perfect exercise of this would have to be iPodlounge , which convert its name intoiLoungenot too long ago . look as if Apple ’s after all the other unity as well , now . EverythingiPod and iPodLife are among the current readiness of victims .
We ’ve seen NeoSol prove off their approaching stuff at the IFA ( Berlin ) exhibition , a brace of weeks ago by now . They had some very niftymachineryin the whole shebang – fundamentally regular iPod - sized PMPs with all variety of extras ( t.v . tuners and crisp clear OLED screens , for instance ) . There ’s also this more “ traditional PVR ” ( Portable Video recorder ) coming up , called theCP-3550 . It ’s not as compact as aforementioned prototypes , but in counter come with a 16.7 million colour , 3.5 - column inch TFT LCD . There ’s a canonical storage capacity of 20 GB , the characteristic t.v . tuner , a bucket full of bear audio & video formats and USB On - the - Go compatibility . We ’re not sure when it ’ll make it to anywhere , though – as is often the type with these South - Korean super gadgets .
Whereas NeoSol has been around in the Portable Video Atmosphere for about a year by now , Cowon ( also based in South - Korea ) mainly center on audio - specific applied science . By introduce the iAudio X5 , things started to poke at towards “ television playback ” a bite as well … And now , there’sthe A2 . A clean , lean mean video machine that comes with a 4 in ( 480 x 272 picture element ) , 16:9 format TFT LCD that ’s able to display 16 million colouring material in aggregate . The A2 also has this rather immensely knock-down electric battery which allow it to play picture for about 10 hour in a wrangle . Thelist of specsjust fail on and on and … on . By now , the first ( Korean ) reviews are starting to pop up here and there . Rumor has it that the westerly society still has to hold back for the A2 ’s handout for another calendar month or so .
Well , that was it for today , ladies and gentlemen . See you again tomorrow !
