"When Gizmodo speaks, people listen." And then void
themselves, as we broadcast the same colliding frequency undertones
played at a GWAR concert. But besides the big squishy handjob that
Gadget Madness gives us, this review of the iLo Digital Audio
Player—that new $80 Wal-Mart special—gets 'er done (to use
official Wal-Mart parlance). I wish the 256MB player could accept SD
cards bigger than 512MB, but for a cut-rate player it looks like they
do almost everything right. Rather than cluttering it up with fancy,
but half-assed engineered software, they just make a simple player
that works with Macs and PCs.

I4U reviews the Muzio JM-200 flash player, a
run-of-the-mill music player with a few stand out features, like a
physically spinning volume wheel, two-color OLED screen, and the
ability to add your own custom graphics to the front of its display.
Other than that we're looking at what has become almost stock standard
on flash players, including an FM tuner with recording, voice and
line-in recording, and TrueBass (something so common I rarely even
bother mentioning it).
Another nice thing - and this is going to start being standard
pretty much soon - is the JM-200 is a USB host device, meaning it's
conceivable you could hook this music player directly into your camera
(or whatever) and copy over files. Oh! And you can listen from two
sets of headphones into a single unit.
I guess this isn't quite as stock standard as I had let on.

The AOpen MVP Player does
something that lots of other set-top boxes have done -- display video
and image files on your television -- and given it a little twist,
mainly by making the hard drive modular. That means instead of
stringing network cable or setting up WiFi, you can take the hard
drive enclosure (that takes 2.5-inch laptop drives) over to your PC
and load it up with data over USB 2.0. It might not be the most
elegant solution, but it's certainly different, and that has to
count for something. Plus it has memory card reader slot, presumably
for copying data from those to the hard drive.
Trusted Reviews says the AOpen MVP Player is still a little rough
around the edges, but it does do what it is designed to do well. Not a
bad deal for around $160; although you'll have to buy the hard drive
yourself.

GadgetMadness reviews May Flash's
simple GameBoy Advance A/V Adapter. Just put the cartridge into your
player, plug your nearest video-producing device's RCA jacks into the
cartridge, and have at it. Brightness, contrast and volume are
controlled using the GameBoy's buttons, as well as hue and saturation.
A major let down for GadgetMadness was the fact that the unit requires
you to use headphones plugged into the cartridge to hear the sound
passing through it—it's unable to play the sound through the
unit's speakers. Of course, the unit is only a pass-through itself, so
you'll have to be carrying a battery-powered set-top DVD player in
your backpack for this to be of any good, but it allows you to use
your GameBoy's screen for nearly any purpose you can find around the
house. Probably not a bad way to go for some hacky projects, but not
for mobile video.

Networked DVD player, but don't let that dissuade you from checking it
out, especially if you have an affinity for oddly colored tan and gray
consumer electronics. Available in wired and wireless versions, the
ADC-320 can stream your video files from your PC or network hard
drive, decoding a variety of formats [MPEG1/2/DivX/Xvid, AVI/DVR-MS]
and doing all the normal fanciness you'd expect from a $200 DVD

SorobanGeeks' Portable Media World has a killer review of the
MPM-20X from NHJapan, a (duh) portable media player with a built-in
30GB hard drive. One of the best things about the MPM-20X is the fact
that it can record via direct from a video source, instead of being
reliant on a computer to get its video files (although you can do
that, too, of course). The complete package looks very nice, with a
full-featured dock and a lot of smart design choices (like a kick
stand!), as well as the freedom that comes from not being tied into
Microsoft's Portable Media Center system.
So why does PMW recommend to pass on the MPM-20X? The heart of the
device, the LCD screen, is pants. Ugly, grainy, washed-out pants.

Sony's new Hi_MD MiniDisc
players are creeping onto the market, and while most of us have passed
over MiniDisc for bigger and presumably better things, the Hi-MD will
let proponents of the standard eke along for a while longer, with 1GB
of storage per disc and up to 45 hours of music at the lowest,
crappiest compression rate. I don't feel like I have to throw up a
bunch of MiniDisc disclaimers at this point -- if you're interested in
the new low-end Sony MZ-NH600 player, for instance, you probably
already know what you're getting into. Australian IT has the review,

Trusted Reviews has taken the MSI Mega 516BT
Bluetooth flash player out for a spin, yet despite a load of
improvements over the previous models, like the addition of an SD/MMC
expansion slot and the hard-to-miss Bluetooth, they still find it to
be overall a dud. It's not that the potential isn't there. When it
works, features like the ability to record calls into the player while
using it as a Bluetooth headset are pretty great, but an uneven user
interface and spotty success with some of the phones they tested it
with make it look as if this player might be one to pass over unless
you're in dire need of the handful of unique features it offers.
Wireless in music players isn't a bad idea. Why, according to The

most of the major video formats in fact (even DVD VOB files). The only
real downside they see to the $166 player is
the inability to change the aspect ratio of video (which can lead to
movies looking oddly smushed) and the inability of 802.11g to always
provide enough bandwidth to stream video over even relatively short
distances, say, from a downstairs computer to an upstairs Multimedia

I4U has a review on the Mvisto DivX
Player. Very similar indeed to the Wigobyte Mvolt-100 Media Flash we mentioned last week, it lacks the
Mvolt's soft, supple curves but includes a 40GB hard drive. (It may
very well be an OEM derivative of the Wigobyte device, actually.) The
Mvisto excels in playing back DivX files on your TV and can even read
ISO files, allowing you to copy full DVDs with playback of all its
special features. The on-screen interface actually looks quite
charming, and it's powered through its USB port. (You use an adapter
to plug into the mains when playing back on your TV.) The review is
overall very favorable and the Mvisto is only $325 through MacPower
distributors, although you have to contact them to purchase a unit for
now.

Korea-based iAudio (whose
products sell in the West under the Cowon and JetAudio brands) has
released a new flash MP3 player model, the U2, which is slightly
smaller than a lighter, but is still available in sizes up to
one gigabyte. All the other goodies we've come to expect from flash
players are there, too (FM receiver and recording, USB 2.0, irritating
burning sensation), and still the U2 manages a (claimed) 20 hour
battery life -- rechargeable battery, that is, not AAA like many other
flash players.
Looks okay! I've been very cool on flash players, having been
disappointed by so many for so long, but they are getting very usable
and very useful now that storage sizes have gotten affordable. At $350
it's still spendy compared to hard disk players, but come on; the
thing isn't much bigger than many players' in-line
displays.
