While it appears that Meizu's infringement shutdown at CeBIT was for unlicensed MP3 usage, and not at all to do with the eerie resemblance to a certain iPhone, the company still seems eager to prove to the world it is brewing something unique with the M8 mini One. CEO Jack Wong posted a bunch of [...]
We've all broken down and done a little late-night discount pharmacy gadget shopping, so we promise not to judge --- but if you've got a Coby DVD boombox stashed away in your place, you might want to run and unplug it real quick. Coby's just issued a recall of 12,000 TF-DVD170 and TF-DVD176 DVD boomboxes [...]
MPIO's MO100 doesn't have a whole heck of a lot going for it, and interestingly enough, neither does Grundig's MPixx 2000. Of course, that could be because they're likely the exact same player save for the branding. Just look for yourself --- you'll notice the same 1.8-inch 160 x 128 resolution display, MP3 / WMA [...]
EchoStar --- parent Co of Dish Network --- just announced intent to purchase Sling Media for a cool $380 mil. Not a total surprise given the similarities of those logos. More telling, perhaps, is the fact that EchoStar was an early investor in the people responsible for the Slingbox and SlingPlayer software. The acquisition, expected [...]
During our chat with Microsoft today, we got wind of a brand new feature coming to Windows Media Center, and it's slated to hit just as D-Link and Linksys get official with their Media Center Extenders.

Well, that was fast --- just two days after Steve pulled one out of his pocket, reviews of the newest iPod nano are filtering in, and they seem to be overwhelmingly positive. Everyone seems to be digging the fatty's battery life, price, and diminutive size, but the overall proportions dictated by the 2-inch screen drew [...]
"Tack on a scroll wheel and call it an iPod." Alright, now that we've gotten that obvious little gem out of the way, it's time to get down to business and start our unpaid weekly focus group for major consumer electronics manufacturers, with today's victim subject being none other than Microsoft's controversial Zune. Far from [...]
According to this MacRumors video --- which has since been pulled per request of Apple's legal department --- the new iPod interface will look a lot like the iPhone. Go figure. Of course, there's always the chance that this video might be a fake, but if that's the case, why is Apple so worried about [...]
Have you been searching for a device which will unify all of your complicated technological needs into one hideously ugly, totally generic package? Well, your search is over, because some completely unknown team working for an anonymous company which is definitely located in the heart of China has created the "Portable Media Player". While you're [...]
GenerationMP3 has a hands-on with Venzero's new DAPs, the mini and SLICKR. From the pics that the GMP3 guys took, you can see that the mini really is mini --- until you see its chunky side profile, that is. The SLICKR is a little more equally proportioned, being of similar dimensions to iRiver's clix 2. [...]
