Nextar rolls out "sleek and stylish" T30 PMP

by Donald Melanson, posted Jun 17th 2008 at 6:26PM

It looks like those that prefer their gadgets to call as little attention to themselves as possible now have yet another new PMP to consider from Nextar, which has just pulled up its new T30 model from OEM-land (from the looks of it, at least). This one packs a 3.5-inch QVGA display (not a touchscreen), along with 4GB of memory, an SD card slot for expansion, a built-in FM radio, and support for all the basic audio formats, although you'll have to convert videos to AVIs using the included software. If that sounds like it'll do, you can apparently pick one of these up now from a whole host of retailers, including Wal-Mart, for a $100 (or less, it seems).

This product made by Nextar is crap. If it was made by Apple it would be an amazing innovation.

Yep, wonder why they'd release this with so many options from China. Sure battery there is crap but they can always improve 'em. A hundred bucks is too pricey for this.

Guys, we left the ridiculous alphabet soup of screen resolution behind in the early '90s for good reason. "QVGA"? How outdated can you get? Sure it isn't VGA+ or EGA or CGA?

JUST TELL US THE RESOLUTION.

That said, I hope it has EMM386 preloaded to handle all that memory.
