Pasen MID5 packs Android, cures insomnia

April 6 2010 by Joseph L. Flatley in Contributors, MP4 |Comments Off


What do we have here? Pasen, a company who’s been boring us to death for years with its MP4 players (and at least one full-on KIRF) has finally come out with something we could conceivably see ourselves wanting to own. Crazy, huh? It’s called the MID5 and as a device its about as revolutionary and original as its name, featuring a 5-inch (800 x 480) LTPS LCD display, WiFi, HDMI out, and support for 720p H.264 video as well as many of your fave formats (including DivX / XviD, RMVB, and MKV. Additionally, the company is boasting up to 10 hours of music or 4.5 hours of video playback. The OS is, predictably these days, Android. No word on a release date yet but when it is available it should go for around $200.

JXD V3 handheld is confused, confusing and altogether interesting

February 9 2010 by Darren Murph in Contributors, MP4 |Comments Off


We won’t front — there’s little chance we’d actually use JXD‘s V3 handheld, but it’s not for lack of interest. This here PMP / game player hybrid isn’t apt to leave the shores of Asia, but for those in that neck of the woods, this unit offers up emulators for a slew of game consoles, a 4.3-inch display, a 5 megapixel camera and plenty of file format support to handle your favorite music and video. Reportedly, the device even features an FM radio tuner, and in case you’re curious as to why there are two D-pads on this thing, it’s because you’ll need ‘em to get through certain Game Boy / NES titles. Or so they say. We can’t say we’re stoked about the $112 price tag, but in a way, we’re kind of in love with the whole flip-top design.

Yinlips YDP800 projector PMP teases your wallet with video

December 6 2009 by Richard Lai in Contributors, MP4, Video |Comments Off


We’re not sure what’s taken so long, but the Yinlips YDP800 pico projector PMP is finally available to the US, courtesy of online store Ownta. The good folks have released a demo video of the projector in action — not quite at the maximum 80-inch picture that Yinlips boasts, but hey, we’ve just about done it before on another pico projector. For around $270 including delivery this feature-packed PMP seems to give a good run for your money, especially when compared to the $299 WowWee Cinemin Swivel. No sign of any sample pictures or videos from the 1.3 megapixel camera yet, so for now just enjoy the video after the break.

Hallods F43 MP4 player packs a 4.3-inch 720p screen, outed in Japan

November 15 2009 by Richard Lai in Contributors, MP4 |Comments Off


Looks like the wait for a real HD PMP is finally over: Hallods of Japan has just released their F43 MP4 player featuring a 4.3-inch 1280×720 screen, easily beating other sub-5-inch, 480p screens found on big names like the Archos 5 and Viewsonic’s VPD400. Under that sharp screen is 8GB of internal storage and a hot-swappable microSD slot, along with a battery life of about four hours and ten hours for video and music, respectively. Like many PMPs out there the F43 supports videos encoded in MPEG4, FLV, RMVB and DivX-WVGA. Sure, there’s the ironic lack of HDMI output, but for ¥16,800 ($188) this is still a pretty good deal. Let’s just hope Hallods will send them over to the US soon.
