The MP4-21 from Shenzhen Sietek Industrial offers a new take on Apple’s clickwheel. The device supports MTV videos, WMA, MP3 and WMV audio files (with ID3 tags) and JPEG images, and has seven EQ modes. A 2.4-inch TFT screen that displays 262,000 colors, some kind of USB port, and a miniSD slot are built-in. For Windows 98, ME, 2000 and XP.

Creative’s keeping mum on this new ZEN, but Amazon’s singing like a canary. Specs:

• 2.5 inch display
• 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB options
• FM tuner
• Voice recorder
•  SD slot
• Audio formats supported: MP3, WMA, AAC, Audible

Pricing ranges from $149 to $299, depending on storage. They’ll be out soon.

Just released in Korea, the iRiver NV PMP is a beautiful example of consumer design. It’s specifications are pretty nice as well:

• GPS via SiRFStar III chip
• T-DMB (for those who get it, of course)
• 7-inch, 800X400 screen
• Small display on the control wheel
• 1.3-megapixel camera
• Great format support (OGG, MP3, WMA, XviD, AVI, AAC, etc.)
• Two SD slots

It’s going for $536, but with the question remains whether it’ll ever make it to the US.

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.
