iRiver NV PMP Is Nifty, But Will it Ever Hit the States?

Nerd Grind — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 18:33:16 +0000

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.)

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

Polaroid Returns – Question is, Why?

Nerd Grind — Sun, 12 Aug 2007 19:25:47 +0000

Actually, I can think of a whole slew of good uses for Zink’s hybrid digital camera/portable printer. Imagine meeting your insurance adjuster at the accident scene, and you get an instant copy of the picture he’s going to use in deciding how much money you should get. Sounds convenient to me. It’s a 7 megapixel unit with a 2-inch display and SD memory card, and so as a camera it’s just so-so. No pricing, but availability is expected by the end of the year.

Winnie the Pooh May Be Your Next DJ – Aigo MV5910 PMP

Nerd Grind — Sat, 11 Aug 2007 22:54:21 +0000

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.

A Few Tidbits Leak Out on the Palm Foleo

Nerd Grind — Fri, 10 Aug 2007 18:04:40 +0000

There are those, myself included, who wonder at the value of the Palm Foleo, but who are we to judge? The specifications are starting to trickle out, and so perhaps there’s something in there to get excited about:

416MHz Intel-Marvel PXA27x processor
Marathon 2700G graphics with video out
128MB of RAM for running applications
256MB of non-volatile RAM for storage
CompactFlash and SD slots
Wi-Fi
Wind River Systems Linux

Well, okay, nothing too exciting there, although some of the parts are a bit non-standard. I still think the Foleo’s going to have a tough time getting going in the market, but time will tell. As it appears, that time will come fairly soon.
