Review: Archos Media Player Delivers
,----[ Quote ]
| If Apple's iPod is the nicely tuned Porsche of portable media players and
| Microsoft's Zune is the Jetta, then a new Wi-Fi-enabled unit from Archos is
| the Hummer, a brutish performer with all the tools to navigate the rugged
| terrain of technology needs on the go.

iUbi Blue (PMP2500B) popping up at AMP3
,----[ Quote ]
| First of all, there's the 4.3-inch (widescreen), 16.7m
| color TFT LCD. Although we thought the GUI looked a bit
| "blue" during the unit's first stages of development, a
| resolution of 480 x 272 never hurt anyone either. Best
| of all is probably the huge bucket of supported file
| formats: MPEG 1, 2, 4 DivX 3.X, DivX 4.X, DivX 5.X,
| Svid, WMV9, H.264, AVI, OGM, WMV 7, 8, MOV and Real
| video. Need more? Sure, MP3, WMA, WAV, OGG, AC-3,
| ASF, AAC-LC, G.726 for video is also included in the
| package deal. Output resolutions upto 720 x 480
| pixels (@30fps) and output volumes of 32mW per
| channel (via a Wolfson 3D sound chip) bolster the
| 2500B's impressive set of specs.

iPod + Linux = Portable Linux?
,----[ Quote ]
| This isn't something that every iPod owner is going to install and mess
| with, and I'm sure it's something that Apple isn?t very happy about
| because they obviously didn't intend for their product to be used in
| this way. However, for those of us who are constantly striving to get
| more out of our hardware, iPodLinux is a fun venture to watch as it
| furthers the reach of the capabilities of both the iPod and Linux.
