Kinwei's KW-P4 PMP tries to be sleek, doesn't quite make it
At first glance, Kinwei's KW-P4 isn't a half bad looking PMP, but if you focus too long on that vivid circle beneath the screen, the luster seems to fade. Granted, we're not exactly sure what function it has, but nothing screws with clean glossy lines like a blast of purple and pink. Nevertheless, this unit does sport a 2.4-inch display, seven preset equalizer modes, an FM radio / recorder, rechargeable battery, up to 2GB of internal storage and support for JPG, GIF, BMP, MTV, AWV, MP1/2/3 and WMA file formats. Unfortunately, it looks like you'll need to send in an inquiry to find out how much this thing will cost, but considering that "minimum order quantity" of 400, we doubt most of you will even bother.[Via PMPToday]
Kinwei KW-P4 PMP: no buttons, no labels
We've seen some dramatically pared down interfaces on portable media devices before, but this PMP from China's Kinwei takes minimalism to a whole new level. In a sharp departure from the usual DIGITAL SOUND PROCESSING label overload, the KW-P4 instead features a virtually unmarked touchpad below its 2.4-inch screen. Format support for the 2GB player is the usual mix of the standard and obscure, with MP3 and WMA audio support bracketed by "MTV" and "AWV" video formats, and you're also getting an FM tuner, ebook reader, and games built in. Of course, it's not at all clear how to actually use this thing, but at least it's calming, no?[Via PMP Today, thanks BrianB]
