Remember when the UMPCs were first coming out and they were just a whole bunch of disappintments? Well, we have come quite a ways since then, and were are coming up to the next generation of these devices. Today, Sony has announced the VAIO VGN-UX1XN. It’s intention is to let users have a fully loaded mini-pc in their hands to watch videos, listent to music, edit documents, and just do everything your home computer does. This UMPC has 1GB of...

Look at those screens and realize that they aren’t nearly as small as your iPod Nanos. Comparatively, the new LG FM37 digital media player packs either a 1/2/4 GB flash drive and supports MP3, WMA, and OGG audio playback. On the concept of thin, this player is only 10.4mm thin (about 1cm). Those screens are touchscreens and are 2.4″ LCDs. iPhone is a tad late here. At first glance, these look almost like an iRiver S10 of sorts, but it... Continue reading

You know how sometimes you need to have the gadget grow on you after the purchase before you start to get comfortable with using it? Well, Japanese toys manufacturer Takara-TOMY has brought this to a completely different level with the new kind of One-Seg DMB toy TV they showed us at Toy Forum 2007 this morning. This portable TV itself certainly reminds us of the iRiver Clix, it carries a 3″ QVGA TFT screen which is not bad, and it... Continue reading

What’s unusual is that they can record sounds with 2 channels (stereo) in PCM and WMA formats; however we really doubt the difference as the 2 microphones are placed so closely together. On top of stereo recording, these DAPs also support... Continue reading

We showed you anti-shock notebooks and tablet PCs, but you know how anti-shock products are like- very arguable size, design and price-tag. Sony and a lot of other manufacturers have also installed shock-proof hard disks into laptops in case you drop them, the idea is to protect the data rather than the screen and everything else (hypocrites!), we all know that they’re not deemed to survive in such situations, and when they do, we call ourselves extremely lucky. Japanese company... Continue reading

CCP Japan has good news to the ladies who hate dry weather. Their new humidifier is so portable that you can do SPA in the office, at the library or anywhere as long as you can find a mains power plug. The body itself measures 110x65x76mm and weighs 400g. The best part is that this tiny machine drinks water from any standard-mouthed bottle, the thing we want to try is to put orange juice in there since vitamin C is... Continue reading

The problem with all those portable DVD players is that they can be clunky and very easy to break when you’re traveling. However, the problem is solved with the Portable Handheld DVD Player. This paperback-sized DVD player contains a 4.2 inch monitor which delivers a sharp, clear picture which is held in an ABS plastic case that is covered in a protective rubber frame; this casing protects the player from the demands of traveling, such as drops (don’t test it),...
