For instance, i can play music on my laptop, but i prefer my ipod. Why? Because its smaller, has a battery battery life and all i want to do is listen to music, not go online and what have you.

The PSP has a shocking battery life, and is quite large. Therefore something like this is more suitable.

I think it looks excellent. Something like this could really take on the Touch. its about time we had a REAL ipod competitor. Sony produce quality products so this would be as good a chance as any to take on the Touch.]]>Jul 31st 2008 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/sony-introduces-another-hot-china-only-pmp-the-pmx-m80/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/sony-introduces-another-hot-china-only-pmp-the-pmx-m80/Jul 31st 2008 11:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/sony-introduces-another-hot-china-only-pmp-the-pmx-m80/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/sony-introduces-another-hot-china-only-pmp-the-pmx-m80/And dont compare a console with a PMP ...]]>Jul 31st 2008 11:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/sony-introduces-another-hot-china-only-pmp-the-pmx-m80/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/sony-introduces-another-hot-china-only-pmp-the-pmx-m80/Resolution and size of the screen, for instance.

Though they do mention something about 18bit.
The PSP's often smeary ghosting screen (with fast movement) is not the highest quality. Perhaps this is better, particularly for outdoors, one would hope.

Also the additions of the map software (GPS?), SRS audio, built-in mic, FM radio. Controls more arguably designed for avoidance of mistaken presses, unit is more compact and has a kickstand.

Battery life is VERY similar to PSP. I doubt this would be very popular, but obviously they see a market for it, particularly with the maps stuff on there for China. I also think there's a practical limit to what you can do with a games console and still have it be affordable and serve its primary function without diluting it with all this add-on stuff. There's a fine line to convergence, IMO.]]>Jul 31st 2008 6:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/sony-introduces-another-hot-china-only-pmp-the-pmx-m80/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/sony-introduces-another-hot-china-only-pmp-the-pmx-m80/
I wonder if the battery is removable. ]]>Jul 31st 2008 6:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/sony-introduces-another-hot-china-only-pmp-the-pmx-m80/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/sony-introduces-another-hot-china-only-pmp-the-pmx-m80/Jul 31st 2008 11:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/sony-introduces-another-hot-china-only-pmp-the-pmx-m80/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/sony-introduces-another-hot-china-only-pmp-the-pmx-m80/Jul 31st 2008 11:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/sony-introduces-another-hot-china-only-pmp-the-pmx-m80/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/sony-introduces-another-hot-china-only-pmp-the-pmx-m80/Jul 31st 2008 11:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/sony-introduces-another-hot-china-only-pmp-the-pmx-m80/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/sony-introduces-another-hot-china-only-pmp-the-pmx-m80/Jul 31st 2008 12:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/sony-introduces-another-hot-china-only-pmp-the-pmx-m80/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/sony-introduces-another-hot-china-only-pmp-the-pmx-m80/http://www.gadgetspage.com/wp-content/ipod_av.gif

Just an OEM player with a Sony logo. Samsung logos are popular on OEM players too here in China.

I ended up getting something very similar from JXO which also included Nintendo emulation and a 2MP camera for $80.

Sony is going for a niche market here. The new Chinese yuppy crowd. With the economy, there are a lot of younger people will a lot of cash.]]>Aug 1st 2008 4:16AM
