Korea's Curon busts out CE-based QCOX DMB/PMP

by Paul Miller, posted Aug 10th 2006 at 11:32AM

Just because everybody and their mom builds DMB/PMP devices in Korea doesn't mean they have to be boring about it, and this new QCOX device from Curon manages a nice bit of sexy even if the feature set is rather tried by now. The Windows CE 5.0-based device sports a 4.3-inch screen, 30GB HDD, DMB tuner and TV out, with only a medium-chunky form factor to show for it. It's all powered by an AMD Alchemy chipset, and has a snazzy Flash-based UI to keep up appearances. The interesting mode-switching wheel to the side of the device looks pretty dang cool, though we wonder about it's actual functionality in action. But it's not like we'll be seeing a lot of this thing in the States, and we're not even sure when it drops in Korea or for how much, so we suppose we have no room to complain.

Wow, you learn something every day. UrbanDictionary tells me that not only is 'snigger' a 'light laugh', but also a racial remark. Sorry about that then, I guess.

It's a thing of beauty.
If it had WiFi we'd be in business.
