X10 MID does 1080p video output on the cheap
A $179, Windows CE 6.0-based MID / tablet may not sound like the most exciting proposition at first, but this so-called X10 MID from a manufacturer that apparently prefers to remain nameless might just pack enough features to at least pique your interest. Chief among those is support for full 1080p video output via the MID's HDMI port, not to mention support for just about every video file format you could ask for to go along with it. Otherwise, you'll get a 7-inch 800 x 480 display (resistive, judging from the stylus), along with a 720 MHz Telechips 8901 ARM 11 processor, 256MB of RAM, 2GB of on-board storage, a microSD card slot for expansion, and built-in WiFi and GPS. Willing to take a chance on it? Then hit up the source hint below to get your order in. Update: Our pals from Engadget Chinese recently managed to get some hands-on time with device, which is made by a company called Kinstone. Head on past the break for a video, and check out a few more pics in their gallery right here.
Telcast T56 PMP promises full 1080p output, unibody enclosure
Looking for a PMP that outputs full 1080p video? Then you've no doubt noticed that your options are pretty limited, even from PMPs (and phones, for that matter) bold enough to call themselves "HD." It looks like China's Telcast could be about to swoop in and beat some of the bigger players to the punch, however, at least if its new T56 PMP actually delivers as promised. While it's 5-inch screen doesn't make it as portable as some may like, it does indeed supposedly boast full 1080p output from its HDMI port, or a standard 800 x 600 resolution on the screen itself. No word on storage just yet, unfortunately, but the rest of the specs seem to be fairly high-end across the board, including built-in GPS, an FM tuner, a memory card slot, and an "all-metal stamping process" -- which appears to be an actual unibody-type enclosure. Of course, there's no word on a price or release date either, so we could end up waiting a good long while for this one.[Via thegadgetsite]
