TwinMos's ''Big-Boned'' PMP525

It seems everyone wants to get in on the portable video player action lately, and TwinMos is the latest company to jump on the bandwagon. It looks a little bit fatter than most other modern players, even though it's only 22 mm thick. It only has a 2.5" screen and does not add a lot of excess space around the screen, so the thickness just ends up being much more proportionally wide than the competitors.

It's a flash player and runs off CompactFlash (types I and II) up to 4 GB. It supports MPEG 1/2/4, MP3, WMA, and OGG, as well as JPEG photo viewing. There's also a built-in MIC and line-in jack so you can record your own audio files.
Rounding out the features are USB 2.0 compatibility and an optional FM radio. Battery life on video is 4.5 hours. This early entry from TwinMos is most likely geared towards the portabilitiy freaks. 2.5" is small in today's market (see the Odd-i 7" video player).
