Sony and Universal have teamed up to produce series of "instant entertainment" vending machines in the UK. POP machines hit the country this holiday season. Unlike other kiosks that sell media players, this one sells the content as well. You will be able to download straight to a memory card, flash drive, PMP or other USB-supporting portable device. The machine will also let you purchase video games and media content on DVD and Blu-ray. Sony and Universal have not released word as to whether or not they plan on bringing the service anywhere else. Consider the UK a trial run.

When the Hybrid Dual Portable Computer was introduced two years ago, the premise was thus: mobile OS up front, Windows XP inside and about as pretty as a duck dipped in oil. Well, that duck has officially been scrubbed clean. The new shell is pretty sleek, is it not?

It’s not just aesthetics that have been tweaked, however. The unit now contains an Atom processor inside. The exact specifications of the Atom has yet to be revealed though.

Other than that, the specifications remain the same. It contains an e-book reader, PMP, netbook and even an in-car rear-view camera monitor. Oh yeah, it also makes phone calls.

No information has been released yet regarding price or availability. Let’s hope that scrubbed duck doesn’t cost it’s weight in gold.

If you have a tyke that’s just got it goin’ on for Winnie the Pooh, the the Aigo MV5910 PMP may be just the ticket. As you can see, it sports the Disney logo (which of course added some to the cost) and the controller is all Winnie (which also added some to the cost). It’s a decent device, I suppose, with the following specs:

  • 3.5-inch LCD
  • AV output
  • SD slot
  • Image viewer
  • 2GB internal storage
  • Up to 16 hours of battery life
  • Supports VOB, RM/RMVB, AVI, ASF, MPEG, and DAT (VCD)
  • On the audio side, supports RealMedia, MP3, and WMA

In US currency, it’s $224, which is a bit pricey, but again, it’s Disney’s Winnie the Pooh we’re talking about. For some people, that’s worth real money.

$344 for a windup PMP? Yup, you read read that right.

Trevor Baylis’ digital media player never needs to be plugged in because it’s power source is you. According to the company, one minute of cranking will give you 40 minutes of playback. It comes with a 1.8-inch color screen, 2GB of onboard memory, an SD card slot, FM tuner, line-in recording, and playback of MP3, WMA, ASF, and WAV files. Oh, but it does has the option of using the USB.
