Chinavasion recently unveiled their new MP4 player that they claim is the world’s thinnest portable media player. It even beats Brando’s disappearing screen MP3 player, in fact this 4GB CVSJ-1304 beats the former record holding device by a whole millimeter!
To give you some perspective on how thin this 4.5mm thin device is, it would take 4 credit cards stacked on top of each other to be at equal thickness. It comes with a 1.8 inch touch screen, with a resolution of 160 x 128, supports media formats such as MP4, MP3, WMA, ASF, and WAV. Additionally, it comes with an FM tuner, a rechargeable battery and USB connectivity. It is already on sale for only $39.55, which is a great price for a 4GB MP4 player, especially one that is this thin.

The latest portable media player from iriver, the P10 may seem just like your ordinary portable media player with its 4.3-inch LCD with an 800 x 480 resolution, 33GB internal memory, as well as WMV and Mpeg video support. But aside from being a cool looking player, the P10 can also be used as an e-book reader with support for PDF, Word and Excel files. So, you can listen to music while reading your favorite novel in e-book format. In addition, the P10 also features a GUI that recognized handwriting similar to the Palm Pilot’s handwriting recognition technology, aside from having several dictionaries that include English, Chinese and Japanese languages.
The iriver P10 portable media player will be available in a DMB-less Basic version for around $310 and the Pro version with DMB for around $387. Unfortunately for us living outside of Korea, the P10 will most likely have to remain on our wish list for a while.

Well it only took about 18 months but the Zune is finally making its way into Canada. Beginning June 13 Canadians will be able to grab the Zune of their choosing. Well, except for a few small details, namely the lineup is not quite as complete as it is here in the US.
There will not be any 30GB model or green models. Do our friendly neighbors to the north have something against green? Anyway, up for grabs will be the Zune 80 in black or red for $249.99, the Zune 8 in black, red or pink for $189.99 and the Zune 4 in black, red or pink for $139.99.

If you can get over the iPod, you’ll find something pretty darn compelling.
I believe Microsoft is attempting some game-changing things here with the subscription. For the price of one CD (or 1.5 cds on iTunes) you get your fill of music downloads buffet style. But you also get the opportunity to pass around music socially to other subscribers. The key to this is new music. A Zune study says finding new music is the key to this whole picture. By sending around your finds, everyone benefits.
The social aspect of this has a big potential upside if done correctly. Users can send their Zune Cards around with their musical finds and add the track or album to their collection from the card with just one click. Great concept.
The spring update also added some features that frankly should have been there from the get go: better searching options, gapless playback options, automatic playlists and searches by genre.
The flipside of this is iTunes should be able to copy this scheme if it really takes off. I am hoping it does.

Fancy getting a new portable media player that has a strikingly familiar minimalist form factor? If you can live without a touchscreen and only 3-inches of screen real estate on your gadget, the new Yoto M300 could prove to be the just right for you. It supports common multimedia file formats such as MP3, WMA, AVI, DIVX, MPEG4, RM, XVID, RMVB, and FLV, as well as JPG, GIF, and BMP for photos. The previously mentioned 3-inch screen will have WQVGA (400 × 240) resolution, and the unspecified size of its internal memory can be further expanded with up to 2GB microSD cards. It has built-in speakers, support for e-books, multi-tasking, sound recording and “other basic functions.” Sadly, this product seems only to work with Windows 2000 and Windows XP computers. (Although it’s hard to imagine any Mac users settling for a PMP other than the iPod). As for pricing, we still don’t know where to start yet. But with basic features and a form-factor that’s as good as copied, rest assured it won’t be anywhere near ridiculously high.

TG Sambo, a Korean based PMP manufacturer, recently launched a really nice portable media player in the Korean market. This unnamed player comes with a lot of cool features, which will probably make it very popular over in Korea.
One of the core features in this PMP is it’s Wi-Fi capabilities, 802.11 b/g wireless LAN, and it’s full browser functionality. Otherwise, it comes with a nice 4.8-inch WVGA LCD screen, T-DMB receiver, 16GB internal flash memory, runs on Alchemy AU1250 700MHz processor and uses WinCE 5.0 OS. Overall, it seems to be a nice PMP for Koreans and neighboring countries, however, no word on pricing at this time. Hopefully, the price remains relatively inexpensive and it becomes available sooner, rather than later.

Two new colors for the Creative ZEN have recently begun to show up online. Wal-Mart currently has a new pink color, while Buy.com is listing a red colored model, and while they are still not listed on the official Creative site the pink model is listed as in-stock at Wal-Mart, the red model from Buy.com is temporarily sold out.
The newly colored pink ZEN is listed as a Wal-Mart exclusive and is the 2GB model which retails for $69.98. The Buy.com red model is the 4GB model and is retailing for $98.24. Aside from the new coloring they will retain the same features which include a 2.5-inch display with a 320 x 240 resolution, FM radio, microSD card slot for additional storage and they offer support for a wide variety of audio and video formats. Looks like a good time to drop the pink and red, after all Mothers Day is just around the corner now.

For Valentine’s day, Microsoft created a special edition red Zune 80 to celebrate, and cash in on the holiday. That Zune remained for just a short time, and was later brought back, but availability was limited to just Zune Originals. Overall it seems like it must have been a hit because Microsoft has decided to make it available everywhere. Cesar Menendez, the marketer for the Zune, confirmed this today and stated that they are already “beginning to make their way into retail stores.” So if you are still wanting the red, hit up your favorite retailer that carries the Zune, if its not already in stock, it should not be much longer.
