If you'd like to
read a review of the Creative Portable Media Center with "so much
added (and useless) commentary that Gizmodo would be ashamed to
publish it," ExtremeTech has a very unpositive, baseball-centric
review. While I don't think that portable media centers are going to
crash and burn, necessarily (although the ones hobbled by DRM might),
I do think it's amusing for a company to promote products that are
most easily (and most commonly) used by those that use Bit Torrent and
other copyright-infringement tools, while with the other hand selling
DRM systems to the television, movie, and music industries.

Creative MuVo Slim Vs. Samsung Yepp
YP-T5 Review
06/16/2004 08:34 AM
Tom's Hardware has an at-first off putting comparison
review of the Creative MuVo Slim and Samsung's Yepp YP-T5 where they
attempt to contrast the two oddly-shaped flash memory players, but
mostly just end up with two separate reviews. Of the two, I definitely
prefer the MuVo Slim. It may be twice as heavy and oddly shaped, but
you have to admit there is a certain appeal to having 256MB of music
stored in a form-factor that shares both the size and shape of a
cassette tape. The fact that it uses USB 2.0 just takes it over the
top.

Samsung has new models of their Yepp flash-based MP3 players
out, the YPC-C1 and the YP-F1. Neither models are terribly inspiring,
but then again, what flash players are these days? Both models support
WMA (and the bulbous YP-F1 will do OGG Vorbis, too) and are available
in sizes up to 2GB, as well as all the recording and FM radio
capabilities flash-players have been capable of for years.

Portable Media Center - An Overview
Portable Media Center - An Overview
09/23/2004 01:33 PMChannel 9 have
posted a great video of the new Portable Media Center's. The video is
an overview of the devices from Brett Bentsen (Product Unit Manager of
PMCs).
Portable Media Centers allow you to have all of your favorite video,
music, and pictures wherever you are. At WinHEC earlier this year, I
personally demo'd the Creative Zen Portable Media Center and it was
rather impressive. The ability to store all your entertainment on a
device that has a good battery life (8 hours) and one that can output
films/TV recordings onto a TV is the unique selling point of the PMCs.
PMCs are likely to be a huge hit with kids and teens wanting to watch
their favourite TV shows whilst travelling.
If you're still not sure what the PMC is or are interested in the
devices then check out this great overview below!

Infosync has
details of an as-yet-unreleased Portable Media Center device from LG,
that looks a lot like the DVX-POD 7010, except that it's an actual
Windows-branded unit. The first generation of PMC devices were
crippled, in my experience, by their need to transcode every type of
file into Windows Media versions before copying it to the unit. That
made for needlessly long transfer times and really killed the devices
usefulness for anyone not totally on board with Windows' codecs.
J0rgen lists all sorts of file formats on the LG PM70, though, so if
it can really play OGG Vorbis and Xvid natively, they might have a
winner (this is presuming the market for portable video players won't
be steamrolled by the PSP).

is currently the best selling digital music device on the market. The
Portable Media Center will be manufactured by Creative, Sanyo and
Samsung, and will be on store shelves for the second half of 2004.

Microsoft's Portable Media Center is set to release today. Digital
Media Thoughts reports that two units, the Samsung Yepp
(pictured here) and the Creative Labs Zen
are already listed at Amazon.
These are neat little doo-dads, but it seems like a device for a
pretty small niche. You'd need to have a long commute to get any
mileage out of one of these things. If you're an air traveler, you
probably already own a laptop that can do most of this stuff for you.
Call me a curmudgeon, but unless the price falls significantly, I
don't really see these taking off.
