A few months ago Meizu had announced that a new user interface would be rolled out for the their flag ship product, the M8, there have been plenty of images and even a spiffy promo video, but it wasn’t till the Feb 6th did Meizu actually dropped the new firmware. There is a certain familiarity in the UI, it seems to be a cross between the iPhone and Android U which is, ironically, running on WinCE 6.0. The update also brought some fixes and new features to the phone …..Click here to read more

I finally got round to taking some snaps of the new RAmos T11TE. The T11TE uses a Telechips processor which is very good at video playback. You check out more images of the unboxing on the RAmos T11TE product page.

Well, the man with contacts in high places has once again got first play with another excellent device from masters of affordable audio equipment,  FiiO.

The E7 USB DAC headphone AMP is nearing production (waiting for parts) but samples have been sent out and ClieOS from www.inearmatters.net (and our own forums) has received his sample, with customized printing to boot - lucky devil.

The whole device looks typically well made, sleek, well packaged and rugged. Not sure on the final pricing yet but knowing FiiO it will be a good price and high quality.

Accessories wise, you have the soft pouch for storage, a silicone band in case you want to warp it with a DAP, a heavy duty USB cable, for a size comparison, ClieOS has taken some shots next to some more popular players.

The RAmos T17FHD is a relatively new player that supports a wide variety of video files formats upto 1080p resolution, this inlcudes high resolution MKV, AVI, RMVB and FLV video formats. The housing if made of plastic and the player itself is rather light weight, however the pearl white finish gives the player a nice look …..Click here to read more

With just about everyone in the world coming out with their own eBook, Cube today announced their own eBook, but unlike others, this seems to be a tad bit more interesting, at least so far on paper.

Cube is set to release a new eBook with a 6.0″ capacitive touch screen, running on Windows Mobile 6.5 and built in Wifi and net access. This really sounds like a MID to me but with some particular tweaking towards eBook reading.

Cube haven’t release any images of the new eBook yet, only the picture of a pretty woman with some of the features that the eBook will have.

Oh and they expect to sell this for RMB999, about USD$147.00 - not a bad price for such a device, but again, its all nice on paper but we would need to get one in hand before we really called this a good deal. No release date has been given for this device.

The new Window G85HD, the ‘Touch Viva’ as Window dubs it, is certainly boasting a very attractive user interface. The renderings show quite a different UI that we are usually used to seeing on a player like this …..Click here to read more

There is yet another new tid bit from RAmos about the capabilities of their new W7, this news is certainly not something to pass over lightly. RAmos is confirming that their Android driven W7 will be able to connect and download apps and games off Googles official Android Marketplace. If this is true then it would make for one of the few (or the only) non phone Android device able to connect to Android Marketplace …..Click here to read more

It seems Lady Gaga is lending her name and image to more than just over priced earphones, now you can get your own Lady Gaga bluetooth headset and that of other licensed characters and images.

The new Earloomz line of bluetooth headsets range from the rather nice looking, like the Jamaican flag version, to the plain silly, like the Lady Gaga ones. I am sure the headsets do the job that they are intended to do well, but i rather see this product catering to the high school and university crowd. I don’t think anyone walking down Wall Street will be sporting anyone of these fancy numbers.

I was wondering where Onda was with their own Telechips player, for a moment i even thought they would take a bold step and not join the rest of the crowd with a Telechips player, but i was proved wrong. At least their Telechips player will bring Onda back into making touch screen based players. …..Click here to read more
