Hands-on with New Media Life's TAVI 030

by Paul Miller, posted Jan 12th 2007 at 12:49AM

It's not the totally new hotness or anything, but what the TAVI 030 lacks in looks -- which aren't all that bad to begin with -- it sure makes up in feature set. The player features WiFi-based IPTV playback (in the black version, the white edition keeps it a bit more traditional), codec support aplenty, and a pretty slick interface for a fairly no-name player. Check out the gallery for a few more shots.

... Wow! talk about a total lack of innovation, if it wasn't because of the ugly control layout you would think this was designed by Nintendo...

Not the slickest looking player in the world, but it doesn't look bad (but it does look like a GBA SP). The design would help protect the screen. If the specs are good and the price is right it looks like a decent product.
