Foryou PMP with Massive 7" Screen

I haven’t seen a PMP with a screen this big it was grafted onto a boom box. The PMP710 form the Foryou Group supports MPEG1/2/4, MP3, WAV, AAC, and Jpeg files. Behind that massive screen is an equally massive hard drive.

You can opt for a version with a mere 20GB of space or go the full monty with a giant 40GB hard drive.

A stereo line out and NTSC/PAL output are included and the device has a built-in FM tuner. If 40GB of storage just doesn’t cut it for you a SD card slot is built in as well. No word on pricing or availability at this time.

Shiro's New Line of PMPs

Shiro looks to give birth to three triplets, and nay of the three are completely alike.   CNET will announce the dawn of the players MK, ME, and VE PMPs at CeBIT next month.

The Shiro VE is the high-end PMP, sporting a gray body with accentuating purple buttons.  Sporting a 2.4 inch display, 4GB of flash memory and a microSD slot for additional storage, this one leads the pack of the three.  Riding its back is the Shiro ME, packing the same microSD slot and 4GB of storage, but the screen shrinks to a mere 1.8 inch.  The 2GB Shiro MK finishes up with an SD/MMC slot instead of a microSD and is a little chubby around the edges. 

All three share a built-in FM radio and voice recorder.  As far as we know, all three will remain on the shores of Singapore.   No word on price or when they’ll be released.

G-force's Tiny Video Recorder

Japan is presently overwhelmed with 1seg mobile digital TV tuners since rolling the service out six months ago.  A good number of the digital tuners came with USB sticks for watching TV on a laptop.

But, the G-force G-WWT-1201B is meant to be connected to your portable DVD player, or a player with composite input.  What’s noticeable about this tuner is that is loaded with 512MB of flash for recording two to three hours of intensely compressed video.

Perfect since it only offers three hours of recharging time.  Look for it in Japan for about ¥26,040 or $220 US.
