SAFA showcases DIA media player in Korea 2007-08-11 16:40:00 It's good to see SAFA back in the saddle after a long bout with silence, and the firm's latest PMP looks mighty fine, we must say. Dubbed DIA -- presumably in reference to the diamond shaped control pad -- this diminutive device boasts a 2.4-inch color LCD, plays nice with audio and video files, comes with four mini games, and is available with up to 4GB of internal capacity. Moreover, users can load the rest of their files on a miniSD card, and there's also a FM tuner and voice recorder to go along with the eight equalizer presets. Word on the street puts the 2GB iteration at ₩139,000 ($151), while the 4GB version will only run you ₩60,000 ($65) more. Check out a few more angles after the jump, and don't say that oh-so-shiny rear doesn't look familiar.Continue reading SAFA showcases DIA mediaplayer

Sony PMX-U50 Hands-On 2007-08-10 20:01:00 Sony is testing the PMP waters with the release of the PMX-M70 and the U50. Unfortunately, unless you're in China you won't be able to get your hands on one of these. That's where this whole internet thing plays a role. Someone over there took some nice pictures of the U50 for us curious onlookers:The player is much smaller than I first imagined. The curved speaker adds a different, yet still appealing look from most other players out there. The cross-media bar interface (as seen on the PSP/PS3) is also a welcomed addition. Although these players don't really bring anything new and innovative to the PMP market, I'd still like to see them sold outside of China. I'm tired of seeing PMP's from the same companies year after year. Sony has something good here and should take advantage of it. (Via dapreview.net : News.) Read more:Hands

Crazy, Cool, Futuristic Concept DAP / CD player 2007-08-10 19:59:00 This is pretty cool. Gizmodo published an article earlier today about a new concept DAP / CD player
. As you can see from the picture it would be highly portable and pretty nifty looking too! Definitely if this ever did come out I would buy it for the novelty value at least. The futuristic player seems like it could be dead handy and heck if you're the first to the market with a player like that, you are going to get noticed.... hint hint DAP manufacturers, take notes.(Via dapreview.net : News.)

Newman's janky Windows CE PMP does it all 2007-08-10 19:58:00 Newman's been known to crank out a few less than beautiful devices in its time, but the interestingly styled vx1000 certainly ups the ante. This handheld conglomerate manages to wear an awful lot of hats, as it features a built-in media player, four-inch 480 x 272 widescreen panel, an image / text viewer, FM radio, WiFi, gaming functions, and Windows
CE at the helm. Of course, we'd be sure to give this thing a whirl before confidently snapping up such a chintzy looking piece, but those willing to take the risk can pick one up in China for 1,999CNY ($264).(Via Engadget.)
Ford's Sync phone / DAP integration gets priced at $395 2007-08-10 19:56:00 Looks like Ford's pricing the Sync extensible automotive media platform right in line with most other DAP / Bluetooth integration
solutions: Dearborn announced today that the system will be a $395 option on new Focus, Edge, and Lincoln MKX vehicles starting this fall. Ford also said that Sync will be coming to nine other vehicles by 2008, but honestly, we're not going to be satisfied on the carputer tip until we get Turbo Boost and a sweeping red scanner light.(Via Engadget.)

Zen Wav washes up on US shores 2007-08-08 20:04:00 We don't know how many of you were patiently waiting for the Zen
Wav to hit our fair shores, but it looks like the tiny black DAP has finally made it out of Asia. Other than the tinny built-in speakers, there's not a lot you haven't seen from Creative before: 4GB of flash, 1.5-inch screen, line-in, smug sense of non-conformity, and an FM tuner. All yours at Wal-Mart for $99. (Via Engadget.)
16gb Creative Zen V+, First Out The Door? 2007-08-02 19:58:00 Sometime today Creative sneakily updated their Singapore online store to include the option of a 16gb version of their popular mini dap the Zen
V+. Priced at $399 (Singapore Dollars) or $262.70 US, its exceptional value for money. Creatives colour choice for this model is questionable in my opinion so I would be hoping that it becomes available in other variants as well. Unfortunately the 16gb model is out of stock, and until it comes into stock the title for 'First
16gb Flash DAP' is still up for grabs, with Apple announcing 'stuff' on Tuesday there is every chance they could yet pip Creative to that title, here's hoping they don't.Creative Singapore(Via dapreview.net : News.) Read more:Creative Zen
