I aforementioned the aim of an communication manoeuvre with an iPod cut allowing you to center to your possess penalization in the morning, instead of what the topical broadcasting stations play. But I don’t aforementioned the idea
of my iPod or iPhone having to meet alert on my hold every mark long. That’s not an cater with the Yamaha TSX-W80 communication manoeuvre though since your iPod or iPhone sits in a portable lineage that uses the company’s AirWired profession to wirelessly transfer your tunes to the alarm. And likewise a methodicalness that borders on retro, the TSX-W80 is pretty base with an FM tuner, digital manoeuvre with alarms, far bounds and 2.1 speakers. It’s due to be acquirable sometime in December, but pricing content hasn’t been announced.

Edifier iF500 iPod/iPhone Speaker

My eyes usually glaze over when I come across yet another iPod/iPhone speaker dock, but there’s just something about the iF500 from Edifier that managed to pique my curiosity, and I think it might have something to do with the massive bulbous speaker clearly designed to mock subtlety. The iF500 supports various models of the iPod and iPhone via a built-in dock, but an aux input also allows you to connect anything featuring an audio output like cellphones or other MP3 players that clearly aren’t worth mentioning by name.

A “5 driver speaker system incorporates unique vibration and resonance control technolories coupled with low frequency porting and mid-range tuned cavities for smoother cleaner audio” and it also comes with the company’s patented EIDC or ‘Electrical Intelligent Distortion Control’ system if inane acronyms are an important feature for you. But if looks or sound quality aren’t enough to convince you to drop $249 on the iF500, keep in mind it also comes with a digital FM tuner!

Cube H100HD PMP does 1080i in a tiny package

Thought 720p output from a PMP was impressive? Try 1080i on for size. Yes, Cube has seemingly one-upped itself, introducing a new PMP called the H100HD that, like its predecessor, sports a 5-inch LCD and support for a variety of video and audio formats, but adds in an FM tuner, support for simple Flash games, and another step up the HD resolution ladder, all in a package that’s a bit more svelte than before. And yes, it still does 720p output for those progressive types. No information on price yet, but since the last one sold for under $75 don’t expect it to break the bank — also don’t expect it to show up at whatever electronics retailers are still in business where you are.

Cube 100HD PMP Features 1080i Output?

By Andrew Liszewski

Details are a little vague right now, but Akihabara News is reporting that the Cube 100HD portable media player not only supports 720P video content, but will actually pump out a 1080i signal to a connected hi-def display. Now I’m not entirely sure where the video-out connection is on this thing, given those 2 product shots cover pretty much every angle (minus the back I guess) so I’m going to assume it uses some proprietary break-out cable. Other features include a 5-inch WVGA (800×480) touchscreen display, FM tuner, e-Book reader and even basic flash game support. Pricing and availability are unknown though.

Brionvega’s retro-futurist MP3 / radio stolen from the set of Fahrenheit 451

Once again, the gang at Brionvega prove that sometimes sexy is enough. The Italian company’s been doing its thing since the 1940s, and this radio is actually a refresh of a model that first debuted in 1965. The RR227 (as it’s affectionately known) is pretty straightforward — an AM / FM tuner that sports an SD card slot for MP3 or WMA playback. This bad boy also features headphone out, aux in, and a USB connection. It will run off of European mains power (Yanks will need to get an AC adapter) or, if you’re picnicking with a loved one near the Seine, it also runs off batteries. Available in black, white, or red. Retails for €199 (about $260). More pics after the break.

Lenovo MRT800 touchscreen PMP unveiled, pities no fool

On the surface, Lenovo’s MRT800 doesn’t seem to have any surprises, but if you look closer… well, it’s more or less the same. The touchscreen PMP’s got a 4.3-inch TFT LCD with 480 x 272 resolution, a microSD expansion slot, FM tuner, and a voice recorder. Codec support includes RMVB, AVI, ASF, MP4, and FLV for video, and MP3, WMA, OGG, APE, FLAC, and WAV for audio. Mum’s the word on pricing, release date, or if anyone else mispronounces its name and gets the urge to watch A-Team reruns.

Samsung YP-CP3 PMP surfaces, looks promising

We can’t say for sure that Samsung’s YP-CP3 is just a P3 with a pinch more “C,” but there are definitely similarities to be seen. At any rate, the CP3 has just surfaced overseas, and reportedly this one comes packing a 3-inch display (400 x 240 resolution), support for a litany of file formats (MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG and RM), an FM tuner, microSD expansion slot and a joystick control scheme. Sadly, we’ve no pricing or availability details to share, but we get this strange sensation that Yanks might be waiting awhile. Or forever.

Nextar’s MA809 PMP is seductively thin, still too pricey

Mar 20th 2009 Portable Audio No Comments

We’ll hand it to Nextar here, the MA809 is sexy enough to roll with the hottest PMPs on the market today, but the pricing strategy needs a serious revision. Said player sports a 2.8-inch display (400 x 240 resolution), an integrated voice recorder, support for MP3 and WMA files, an FM tuner / recorder, built-in speaker and a stopwatch to boot. Furthermore, it includes 2GB, 4GB or 8GB of storage space, while the microSD card slot leaves open the possibility for expansion beyond that. Nextar claims that you’ll get up to eight hours of continuous music play or up to three hours of video viewing with a fully charged Li-ion, but we still don’t see it really breaking through by being hosted up at Sears for $99.99 (2GB), $119.99 (4GB) and $149.99 (8GB). Maybe we just need a little hope, though. The full release is after the break.
