Creative MuVo V100: It's an update
Edvarcl Heng | Sep 29, 2006
The first MuVo V200 was lauded because its presentation of the USB plug is different from other MP3 players at the time. It was elegantly hidden within the player in a L-shaped joint, unlike other models which used the rather crass USB cap. The new V100 is the 2006 update. Nothing revolutionary though. There's an up in battery life from 15 to 18 hours and it's slightly thinner (15mm compared to 16mm).

Meizu Mini: iPod video beta?
Edvarcl Heng | Sep 28, 2006
For once, it's not a knockoff. For a country whose factories excels at making near-perfect copies of popular MP3 players, it makes Meizu's offering all the more tantalizing. The Mini Player has a rectangular-ish Click Wheel-like interface which melded onto the cripsy white body rather resemble an iPod doesn't it? Don't agree?

Archos 404: That's a palm-sized wonder
Edvarcl Heng | Sep 28, 2006
Palm-sized PVPs with a 3.5-inch screen are a rarity. It may be built like a tank with a scratch resistant brushed-metal casing, but under the turret, it's all good. There's support for MPEG-4 ASP up to 720 x 480 at 30fps, WMV9, and WM DRM along with the ability to record line-in audio and video with optional adapters and excellent video controls. Going to get one?

Samsung YP-K5: Grabbing Michael Bull by the horns
Edvarcl Heng | Sep 21, 2006
Dr Michael Bull, the author of The Auditory Culture Reader, once wrote that: "In a world filled with noise, rather than craving for silence, users demand their own noise to drown out the fear associated with a silence that throws the user back into their own state of being."
Is it? Well, the latest Samsung YP-K5 advertisement seems to be a satirical representation of Bull's theories. It has people with their heads in goldfish bowls (iPod users) wandering the streets in audio ignorance. But one man (Samsung YP-K5 user) breaks out of the mould, smashes his fishbowl, flips out his YP-K5 like a miniature boombox, and inspires the whole ghetto to dump their aquariums as well. Utterly hilarious.

Samsung YP-T9 reviewed: Just as good as YP-T8
Edvarcl Heng | Sep 20, 2006
After a long muted wait, with various other Samsung MP3 players coming to the fore despite the YP-T9's earlier announcement, the YP-T9 has made landfall in China. And it was our sister site, ZOL.com, which picked it up and put it through its paces. Did they love it or hate it?
