iriver NV PMP ships in Korea

The iRiver NV GPS PMP is one of the best looking gadgets I have seen in a long time, though it does remind me a bit of the Prada phone which I didn’t like in person.

The gadget integrates DMB TV, PMP functions and GPS into one smaller and attractive device. The front is void of controls save for the scroll wheel giving the NV a very Apple look.

Features include a 1.3 megapixel camera, whopping 7” LED TFT screen with an 800 x 480 screen resolution, FM tuner, SiRF III GPS and more. The compatible formats it will play include MP3, WMA, OGG, MP1, MP2, MP2.5, WMA7, WMA8, and WMA9. Dual SD card slots are included, which I would assume means one for map cards for the GPS and one for extra storage. The price in Korea is about $535 here in the states.

Itouch PMP Rips Off iPhone Style

If the iTouch looks familiar to you, you’re not alone. This is one of the most blatant rip off of the iPhone I have seen. I guess the Italian maker of the iTouch are counting on the fact that their device doesn’t offer phone capabilities will keep them from getting sued. I suspect it’s only a matter of time before Apple sues their pants off.

The iTouch will play MP3, WMA and can rip music to MP3 as well. The little gadget plays video as well supporting AVI, XviD, and DivX formats on the 2.8” screen. Other features packed inside the little gadget include an FM radio, photo viewer, karaoke mode, text eBook reader.

A built-in speaker allows you to listen without headphones. I don’t imagine that this device will be around too long once Apple gets wind of the device. Storage for the device is via SD cards and the video plays at 24fps with a 320 x 240 screen resolution. Via Wired

P360 gives 360 degrees of GPS

Here's one of the smallest portable video players with GPS that we've ever seen. The Prober P360 has a 3.5" touchscreen with virtually no extra space for casing. It comes with a SiRF Star III chipset for GPS and a Windows CE interface for music and video management and playback.

It can play WMV, WMA, and WAV capabilities. It's mainly a GPS device, but the fact that it looks so sleek made us have to write about it. Currently there is no US street date or price available.
