Another round of media players
Posted Jul 12, 2004, 9:55 AM ET by Simon Spagnoletti


Still more portable media players with one-inch drives for your viewing pleasure. Korean electronics maker NeoSol is coming out with a bunch that all have pretty much the same specs, such as a 2.5GB hard drive, OLED displays, built-in TV tuner and recorder, playback and recording of MP3, WMA, DivX, XviD (bloody finally), AVI, ASF and AVI as well as JPEG display.

Frustratingly the hard drive on all of these is only 2.5GB in size, so you’re not going to be packing too many movies on there (there is an SD slot, but that’s not going to be of much use either). We were confused by the same-spec thing for a minute there, but then figured that it was a good thing, since it gives people more choice without forcing them sacrifice features — offering multiple designs is certainly a step up from merely offering different colors as the only option
