KAON's KM35 PMP does mobile TV on the side

Pucker up, jet-setters -- South Korea's own KAON Media has a new PMP on the way, and for whatever reason, we've found ourselves strangely attracted to what the KM35 has going on here. The "Anywhere TV and Internet" device runs on Windows CE (and handles fresh-out-of-cinema films very well) and features a 3.5-inch 320 x 240 resolution display, 4GB or 8GB NAND flash drive, WiFi, an SD expansion slot, optional FM tuner and your choice of DVB-T/H, ISDB-T or T-DMB TV tuners. Early estimates peg battery life at around 2.5-hours when watching live TV, though there's no word yet on pricing or worldwide availability.

And of course they don't make an ATSC model

I'm pretty sure The Hulk isn't out of theaters yet....

i was gonna say. i we promoting bootlegging here Engadget?

that reminds me, i should hit up Isohunt...

I'd assume it's just some trailer they've used...

[RikF @ Aug 23rd 2008 5:46PM]

A one hour, thirty-five minute long trailer?

[David @ Aug 23rd 2008 6:10PM]

Yea 1:35 so why is the bar half way through at only 2 minutes??? PS?

[grull27 @ Aug 23rd 2008 4:29PM]

How are you supposed to put that in your pocket?!

[Juxtah @ Aug 23rd 2008 4:39PM]

It's a 3.5 inch screen, I'd say that most likely it'll be quite pocketable if it ever does come out of S.Korea

[bolezhinkov @ Aug 23rd 2008 5:54PM]

Im sure anyone who buys it would have deep pockets.

"incrediblehulk.avi"

Hmm... no wonder some people think hardware manufacturers support piracy...

3.5" at 320 x 240, 4/8gb? How is that remotely well spec'd for a good PMP?

Roughly looking at the dimensions of the pmp, if it's got a 3.5" screen, the player itself is probably about 4.5" x 2.5", even bigger than my ancient HTC Hermes at the same resolution. Don't see anything here worthy of praise other than the DMB support, which is supported by many other players anyways. Don't forget the horrid generic design either.

[Al @ Aug 23rd 2008 5:44PM]

I guess that fact that is has an SD card slot which is able to up to 32gb at this point in time makes it good? I dunno.

[RAQ @ Aug 23rd 2008 5:30PM]

We need more PMP's over here in the UK with more video codecs than stupid MP4.

[Phoenix @ Aug 23rd 2008 5:59PM]

How about MP7?

[Techpest @ Aug 23rd 2008 10:19PM]

Stop featuring PMP's that won't make their way out of Korea. What's the point?

[Jamar @ Aug 24th 2008 9:59AM]

This one will, most likely. Let's see- ISDB=One-seg, that's Japan. DVB is European, so it'll show up there too. And Norway's just decided that they like DMB too. The only one left out is North America (unless they start using one of the three).

[Jamar @ Aug 24th 2008 10:01AM]

It would be nice if the commenting system worked.

[alex @ Aug 23rd 2008 11:52PM]

You forgot the part, "and it will never reach these shores."

[Jamar @ Aug 24th 2008 10:01AM]

Wrong. Let's see- ISDB=One-seg, that's Japan. DVB is European, so it'll show up there too. And Norway's just decided that they like DMB too. The only one left out is North America (unless they start using one of the three).

We need to upgrade from 320x240.

Actually, we need to upgrade from 480x320.
Now that we have the capacity for high-res movies, I'd love to see more devices that were 600x480.

[cody @ Aug 24th 2008 2:05AM]

i want to see the incredible hulk again...its not fair.

[Shahryar @ Aug 25th 2008 2:30PM]

Me too. 2nd best movie of the year in my opinion(behind the Dark Knight, ahead of Iron Man)
