The Korean-made Viliv S5 MID has spawned a run of 700 units of the 'D-Log' – a stripped down version of the F-Log, losing GPS but gaining DMB. The D-Log tech specs otherwise mirror the F-Log with its 4.8 inch 1024 x 600 touchscreen, 1.33Ghz Intel Atom Z520 processor, 1GB of RAM, a 60GB hard drive, WIFI and Bluetooth. Via Pocketables

I did the video review of the M70 Plus, i was in a bit of a rush to get it done, pretty busy today with a lot of inventory arriving before May day holidays, hence why i look a bit frazzled in the video. Anyways enjoy it. Presale starts soon on these, just need to find out what memory sizes we will be able to get them in right now (looking like it may only be 8GB to start with). Discuss on out forums

Newsmy has added the new XO to their player line up, sporting a shiny, tint exterior and a 5mm thick body, the player is certainly one of the thinnest and shiniest mp3 players i have ever seen. The buttons look to be heat sensitive with a 1.5" OLED screen. The player is to have a super thin body of just 5mm thickness, which, from the above image, means it will be using the less traditional micro usb slot. It will be using a Rockchip based media processor, possible the RK2606/08 chipset, which is a favorite on these type of players. It not only will be able to support music files (mp3, wma, flac and ape) but it will also allow for AVI video playback. Not sure how attractive a 1.5" OLED screen encased in a tinted body overlay will be for most people, but i suspect this may make fo

As far as MP4 players go, it would be an understatement to say that the M70 Plus was a big player, its an absolute monster of a player, its the first player that i have ever held that felt awkward for it to be held with only one hand, that's right, you're going to need to hold it with both your hands. Chuwi basically used their previous M70 player design (which ran on the RK2806 chip) and rebuilt in the internal hardware around the CC1600 media chip. Just like most current CC1600 players, it has the same abilities and features, even the same UI layout. However the biggest selling point for this player is its screen, not only is it large, but it has a resolution of 800 x 480. Build quality: The actual case of the player is hardly what would be called high class, in fact its pre

Skytone looks to be developing a few interesting netbooks and even MIDs, their Alpha 680 looks to run Google Android OS, the netbook, based on an ARM 533mHz processor, looks to run the OS pretty well. It running smoothly and everything loading very fast is all nice, but the current Android OS is primarily for mobile phones and as such, many of the apps are limited to what they can do and even the OS is limited in overall functionality. I'll leave it upto you to decide if Android would make a good OS for a netbook. Second part of the video after the break. Discuss on our forums Via Engadget
Cased in a die-cast steel shell, it's the KSD G6 PMP. Manufactured using a zinc alloy die casting process produced by Seiko, the solid G6 promises to withstand drops, compression, scratches and fading. This comes at a cost with the unit being slightly heavier on the pocket than comparable machines but it could offer better protection to the 4 inch 480x272, 16.7million color TFT screen. The G6 supports RM, RMVB, AVI, WMV, 3GP, DAT, VOB, ASF, FLV and most audio formats as well as APE/FLAC Lossless music format. It has built in PlayFX support as well as TF card expansion slot, FM radio, e-book support and photo browsing.

Well it does look like the RAmos T12 maybe the first MP4 player to actually support HDTV TV Out, the CC1600 based players also claimed 'HDTV' but in reality it was more 480p than anything else. The player looks to be using a Chrontel 7026B-TF video out chip, which from its own datasheet, confirms the HDTV out. Although the T12 is the first player to have this, this exact feature will most likely be on every RK2806 based player that comes with TV Out. This will certainly raise the bar with the other media chip companies, such as ChinaChip. It does look like the RK2806 chip may actually meet expectations. Discuss on our forums Via Zol

Teclast M66 is like that kid you grew up with that just wasn't very ugly, but their parents still found a way to dress him up so that he could look even more unbelievable ugly. Well ok, the M66 isn't that hideous to look at, but its UI is just painful to see. Lets hope the UI is easy to mod like players based on the RK2706 chip. The Teclast M66 was the very first player to be annouced to have the new Rockchip RK2806 media chip at its core. Lots of speculation has been surronding this particular chip, mainly it claims to also support very high resolution videos and also support MKV format. We are eager to get our hands on one of these RK2806 players and put it through some tests to see how it matches to the monster CC1600 media chip. Check out the rest of the UI images below
