Sony's apparently gotten the message: Some of its new MP3 player models will feature direct support for MP3 in addition to its proprietary ATRAC format. Support for MP3 will first appear in flash-based players Sony plans to release in Europe this year, according to reports, which also indicate that Sony plans to release MP3-compatible flash players in the United States.

AMD chips in for portable video players

AMD chips in for portable video players 01/04/2005 11:03 AM
AMD has developed a low-power chip that it thinks will make portable video players more compelling by reducing the time needed to transfer content to the devices. The company is expected to announce the chip at CES (the International Consumer Electronics Show) this week. Portable video players with the new Alchemy Au1200 processor will play Mpeg files recorded by digital video recorders, eliminating the need for users to change those files to a different format, a spokeperson says. AMD has designed a reference platform for manufacturers that includes the chip and media player software, and the company expects devices to emerge in the second quarter of this year.

Panasonic D-snap Audio Portable Players

Panasonic D-snap Audio Portable Players 03/19/2005 02:45 AM

Panasonic introduced a few portable audio players yesterday that we forgot to mention (although they leaked way back in October), in the "D-snap Audio" line. We'll start with the "SV-SD100V" and "SV-SD90" square-shaped players with SD card slot (and only an SD card slot). They also have a mirrored organic EL display, and compatibility with MP3, WMA and AAC. In fact, the SV-SD100V throws in an FM tuner and voice recorder.

Also announced were the "SV-MP720V" and "SV-MP730V." Their interesting "two block" design actually won Panasonic a design award. The two units vary only in capacity, color variations and price. Both are MP3 and WMA compatible and have an FM tuner/voice recorder you probably won't ever use. A sort of disappointing 10-hour battery life on these.

Two S-Media Portable Video Players:
JoyToGo and Black Diamond

Two S-Media Portable Video Players:
JoyToGo and Black Diamond 06/08/2004 07:31 AM

DAPReview has shots of a couple of small, hard drive-based video players, both with planned release dates around September. The first is the JoyToGo (pictured left, and which I could have sworn we'd seen before, but Google says otherwise), built around either a 20 or 30GB 1.8" hard drive, with a 480 x 234 2.5" LCD screen, as well as built-in speakers and SD slot. It will also allow direct recording of video in MPEG-4 at rates of 640x480 at 25fps -- not bad, consider that's larger than its own screen.

And even though it's only a mock-up at the moment, I can't help but be excited by the 'Black Diamond' player, built around a tiny 1" hard drive with an as-yet-unspecified capacity. It only has a 294 x 228 resolution (with the same 2.5" screen size as the JoyToGo), and no speakers or anything like that, but if they could bump the resolution of the Black Diamond up to 480 x 234, I would be happy -- honored, even -- to carry around the little player in my pocket.

Both players are from S-Media, the makers of the moderately successful CoCoPod hard disk player.
