5-in-1 multi-function MP3 player could use a plug from Billy Mays

Posted in: digital camera, DigitalCamera, mp3 player, Mp3Player, Today's Chili

In theory, we can’t really harsh on a diminutive little gizmo that can play back MP3s, record voice notes, capture live video, snap a few stills and double as a card reader in a pinch, but there’s just something about this thing that screams infomercial. As for specs, it’s got 2GB of built-in memory, a microSD expansion slot, USB 2.0 connectivity, a rechargeable Li-ion and a 3.5-millimeter headphone jack. Unfortunately, the thing’s selling for an almost astronomical $60 before shipping, which definitely pushes it into “won’t ever sell without Billy Mays’ endorsement” territory. Seriously, check the vid after the jump if you think you’re immune to coercion.

KO Digital’s RM2300: the disappearing screen PMP that reflects you, your alcoholism

KO Digital's RM2300: the disappearing screen PMP that reflects you, your alcoholism

It was a neat trick when LG’s Shine hid a screen behind a mirror, but the sadly non-disappearing keypad left little doubt about what the thing’s intended purpose was. KO Digital Technology’s RM2300, however, goes for a rather more subtle approach. When off it looks like a slab of polished titanium, but flick it on and a screen appears from below the surface (also appearing in more photos after the break). Get past the mysterious looks, though, and what you have is a standard PMP that can do standard PMP things: play videos and tunes in numerous formats, support TV-out, and handle photo and e-book browsing. No mention of price, capacity, or availability, but by now you should know how these things go — don’t expect to be gazing at yourself in one of these any time soon.

Update: Gallery added so you all can lust a little more.

Posted in: mp3 player, Mp3Player, PMP, samsung, Today's Chili

Samsung’s P3 has been official in other parts of the globe for awhile now, but the outfit has decided to wait until CES to make it so here in the States. As anticipated, the PMP arrives with its “evolutionary” EmoTure user interface, 4/8/16/32GB of internal storage, haptic feedback, a 3-inch WQVGA display, DNSe 3.0 sound enhancement technology and a Music Hot Touch Key that enables users to instantly access favorite music features / selections without having to wade through multiple menus. The device itself is just 0.39-inches thick, and it also boasts a voice recorder, FM radio and Bluetooth support. Check it sometime during the first half of this year in matte black / matte silver motifs.
