Zarva's DV MV209 PMP unleashed on an unsuspecting public

Anonymous PMP manufacturer Zarva has introduced a new model into the sea of do-it-all players, dubbed the DV MV209. The cellphone-styled PMP features a 16-million color, 2.8-inch screen, and can play MPEG-4 and AVI video content, as well as the typical set of MP3, WMA, FLAC and APE files. Additionally, the player can access SD cards up to 2GB, and appears to feature a built-in camera (though with an indeterminate resolution, as info on this model is scarce). No word yet on pricing or availability, but you can be quite certain you'll have to do some mail-ordering if you want to get your hands on this guy.

Umm ... AVI is just a container. What codecs other does this thing support?

May I respectfully remark that if it's named Zarva, it is not anonymous ...

The last two aren't typical :) China and Korea most receptive to open formats. Japan really needs to get its butt moving, IMO.

Hate the design, but would be nice to see how it sounds.
