Hands-on with New Media Life's TAVI 030

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.

And that would be bad?

... 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...

That oddly looks like a GBA SP.

dslite like would have been better, with widescreen video support.

Anyone noticed how that looks like a GBA SP

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.

I really like the design, and im probably gonna be picking one (if the price is reasonable)

$450

Does it work now with PRC files (for ebook dictionaries) ? It should be nice...!
Thanks.
