Do you have even the <em>slightest</em> clue what you get when you shove a perfectly operational Mac mini, JBL Spot subwoofer and WMF1 coffeemaker into a perfectly defunct <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/iMac/">iMac</a> DV case? The iMac CS, that's what. In one of the most bizarre and aspirational mods we've seen in quite some time, one Klaus Diebel has managed to combine three devices that wouldn't typically be shoved within the same enclosure... into the same enclosure. The result is a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/coffee/">coffee</a>-making media server that just so happens to boast its own inbuilt sound system, or in other words, exactly what you need to start a street corner java shop. The bad news is that a customized version will set you back at least &euro;300 ($431), but the good news is that you can probably build your own for less. Just make sure you know exactly what you're getting yourself into before embarking -- we've got a vague idea that this won't enhance the lives of many.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/26/barista-approved-mod-shoves-a-coffeemaker-mac-mini-and-subwoofe/">Barista-approved mod shoves a coffeemaker, Mac mini and subwoofer into an iMac DV case</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sat, 26 Dec 2009 01:19:00 EST.

In theory, we can't really harsh on a diminutive little gizmo that can play back MP3s, record voice notes, capture live video, snap a few stills <em>and</em> double as a card reader in a pinch, but there's just something about this thing that screams infomercial. As for specs, it's got 2GB of built-in memory, a microSD expansion slot, USB 2.0 connectivity, a rechargeable Li-ion and a 3.5-millimeter headphone jack. Unfortunately, the thing's selling for an almost astronomical $60 before shipping, which definitely pushes it into "won't ever sell without Billy Mays' endorsement" territory. Seriously, check the vid after the jump if you think you're immune to coercion.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/18/5-in-1-multi-function-mp3-player-could-use-a-plug-from-billy-may/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>5-in-1 multi-function MP3 player could use a plug from Billy Mays</em></a></p><p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/digitalcameras/" rel="tag">Digital Cameras</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/gadgets/" rel="tag">Misc.

It's a UMPC! It's a MID! It's a multifaceted PMP that relies on Windows CE 5.0! Whatever it is, the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Nurian/">Nurian</a> Avatar F1 comes touting a 5.8- x 3- x 1-inch chassis and isn't likely to stray too far from South Korea. The PMP conglomerate not only plays back MPEG1/2/4, DivX, XviD, WMV, OGG and MP3 files, it also defines words, tunes into mobile TV (DMB) broadcasts and outputs video via the component dongle. You'll also find a 4.3-inch WQVGA display, USB socket, a built-in equalizer and an integrated mic for good measure. Take a wild guess at the price, chances are you'll be in the neighborhood (minus the flight to Seoul).<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.pocketables.net/2008/08/30gb-nurian-ava.html">Pocketables</a>]<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/portableaudio/" rel="tag">Portable Audio</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/portablevideo/" rel="tag">Portable Video</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/24/nurian-avatar-f1-pmp-wears-a-few-other-hats/">Nurian Avatar F1 PMP wears a few other hats</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sun, 24 Aug 2008 22:09:00 EST.

Pucker up, jet-setters -- South Korea's own KAON Media has a new <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/PMP/">PMP</a> 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.<br /><br />[Thanks, J.

As with last week's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/how-would-you-change-apples-iphone-3g/">How Would You Change</a>, this iteration too involves the mobile crowd. Unlike last week, this rendition revolves around a much less pervasive device: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/X7510/">HTC's Advantage X7150</a>. For those of you who coughed up some serious cash in order to claim one, how would you like to see it tweaked?

There's no denying that HTC's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/X7510/">Advantage X7510</a> fills a narrowing niche -- after all, how many of these things have <em>you</em> seen out and about in the subway / underground? Still, there's just something very enticing about a 5-inch VGA display, built-in GPS, HSDPA, WiFi, Bluetooth and a full-blown QWERTY keyboard, is there not? For you folks who plunked down quite a few bills in order to bring this home, how has your experience been? For you folks in America who have <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/18/htc-advantage-x7510-available-to-users-for-1-300/">just recently</a> decided to bite the bullet and jump in, was it worth it? How would you tweak this do-it-all conglomerate (besides making it way more affordable)?

Though it pains us so, there's not an awful lot of information out there just yet on MeLE's forthcoming do-it-all PMP. Spotted at AsiaWorld-Expo in Hong Kong, the admittedly beefy unit was seen sporting a 4.3-inch 480 x 272 resolution display, a relatively gigantic bezel and room for a 2.5-inch hard drive within. If we had to guess, we'd surmise that it'll play nice with pretty much any useful audio / video format on the planet, but it seems the price and release date are still cloaked in mystery.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.slashgear.com/mele-gmt-600-gps-equipped-widescreen-pmp-2211279.php">SlashGear</a>]<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/gps/" rel="tag">GPS</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/handhelds/" rel="tag">Handhelds</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/portableaudio/" rel="tag">Portable Audio</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/portablevideo/" rel="tag">Portable Video</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/mele-showcases-chunky-gps-enabled-gmt-600-pmp/">MeLE showcases chunky GPS-enabled GMT-600 PMP</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 22 Apr 2008 21:41:00 EST.

Remember that elegant looking conglomerate we <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/trigems-el-breaks-into-gps-with-style/">peeked</a> in December of last year? Turns out, said device finally has an appropriate name and price, but sadly, it still isn't apt to head stateside. Nevertheless, the TG Favicon reportedly features a 532MHz Freescale CPU, TPEG navigation, dual DMB / PIP functionality, 4GB of internal storage space, an SD expansion slot and a 7-inch WVGA display. So, just how much coinage will you be asked to fork over to snag this beauty next time you're in Seoul? Around 422 US dollars, that's all.<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/gps/" rel="tag">GPS</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/handhelds/" rel="tag">Handhelds</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/portableaudio/" rel="tag">Portable Audio</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/portablevideo/" rel="tag">Portable Video</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/19/tgs-favicon-pmp-navigator-gets-priced-even-sexier/">TG's Favicon PMP / navigator gets priced, even sexier</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 19 Feb 2008 10:31:00 EST.

Yeah, we Americans have some pretty fancy toys to play with, but we still can't help but feel a touch slighted each time one of these beauties emerges from South Korea. WithView's HM-U500 sports a whole lot of screen and not much bezel, an ultrathin design and a 4.3-inch 480 x 272 resolution panel. Reportedly, the unit is available in 4GB and 8GB iterations and features an SD expansion slot, built-in camera, a kickstand, headphone jack, a T-DMB tuner, e-dictionary, and support for MP3, WMV, OGG, JPG, BMP, PNG and AVI file formats. No word on a price or anything, but for the US crowd who can't just hop on the next flight to Seoul to pick one up, we're probably better off not knowing.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://thegadgetsite.blogspot.com/2008/01/withview-hm-u500-dmb-ultra-slim.html">TheGadgetSite</a>]<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/portableaudio/" rel="tag">Portable Audio</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/portablevideo/" rel="tag">Portable Video</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/29/withviews-hm-u500-do-it-all-handles-dmb-makes-americans-enviou/">WithView's HM-U500 do-it-all handles DMB, makes Americans envious</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 29 Jan 2008 15:54:00 EST.

We've seen our fair share of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/23/brandos-illuminated-flexible-keyboard-aint-too-pretty/">flexible keyboards</a>, and yes, we've even seen hordes of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/18/netgear-sph101-skype-wifi-phone-unboxing-and-hands-on/">Skype</a> <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/24/netgear-intros-sph200w-wifi-phone-with-skype/">phones</a>. Thankfully, this particular unit <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/27/buffalos-usb-keyboard-and-skype-handset/">weds</a> the two aforementioned devices into one, creating a single harmonious 'board that you can freely squeeze while your frustration level skyrockets from yet another troubleshooting call. Hailed as "virtually indestructible," this unit can even be washed, drenched in soda and curled up for easy transport when not being used to type up your thesis and / or tune in to those totally boring CIA conference calls. Sure, $59.99 may seem a tad steep for a no-name keyboard, but just remember, you're buying <em>utility</em> here.<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/peripherals/" rel="tag">Peripherals</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/03/flexible-keyboard-meets-skype-phone/">Flexible keyboard meets Skype phone</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 03 Jan 2008 08:04:00 EST.

We'll admit, HyOn's D5 sure looks a lot like the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/hyons-xent-x3-pmp-handles-gps-t-dmb/">Xent X3</a>, but unlike its predecessors, this fancy navigator rocks a dual-DMB tuner. That's right kids, this Korea-only unit sports a single integrated DMB module that supports both T-DMB and S-DMB, and if that wasn't enough to get you in a tizzy, it also features a 800 x 480 resolution LCD, a SiRFstarIII GPS chipset, dual 1.5-watt speakers and an integrated antenna to pull in those DMB waves. Thankfully for those of us pouting about not having a residence in Seoul, this thing costs a whopping ?490,000 ($520) in 2GB form or ?530,000 ($563) for 4GB, so it's not like you'd buy one even if you could. Okay, so maybe you would.<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/gps/" rel="tag">GPS</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/handhelds/" rel="tag">Handhelds</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/portablevideo/" rel="tag">Portable Video</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/24/hyons-d5-navigator-sports-dual-dmb-tuner/">HyOn's D5 navigator sports dual-DMB tuner</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Mon, 24 Dec 2007 17:09:00 EST.

At this point, we're fairly certain i-Station will only use a number <em>other</em> than "43" in its product titles once it has exhausted the entire US alphabet, but since we're <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/26/digital-cube-gets-an-i-station-dictionary-gig-with-the-t43dic-pm/">not quite</a> <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/hands-on-with-digital-cubes-worlds-smallest-umpc-the-g43/">to that</a> <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/07/digital-cubes-i-station-m43-another-do-everything-pmp-from-kor/">point</a>, we're forced to live with U43 this go 'round. As expected, this Korean PMP is packed to the brim with features, including a 4.3-inch WQVGA (480 x 272) display, WinCE 5.0, a T-DMB receiver, GPS, e-dictionary, 30GB / 60GB hard drive and support for a smorgasbord of file formats. Notably, some features will depend on which flavor you pick up -- Standard, DMB or NAVI -- but the whole lot plays nice with MPEG1/2/3/4, AC3, DivX, XviD, WMV, WMA, OGG, WAV, AAC, FLAC, APE, JPEG, BMP and PNG. 'Course, all this functionality won't run ya cheap, as word on the street pegs this bad boy at ?448,000 (or around $481).<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.akihabaranews.com/en/news_details.php?id=15188">AkihabaraNews</a>]<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/handhelds/" rel="tag">Handhelds</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/portableaudio/" rel="tag">Portable Audio</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/portablevideo/" rel="tag">Portable Video</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/i-station-lets-loose-u43-do-it-all-pmp/">i-Station lets loose U43 do-it-all PMP</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 30 Nov 2007 12:49:00 EST.

There's a select group of red flags that appear when a product is, or is dangerously close to becoming, vaporware, and we've seen just about all of 'em when looking at McPerson's I-TV. Apparently, this so-called <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/16/lumenlab-shoves-pc-inside-42-inch-1080p-display-calls-it-q/">do-it-all LCD TV</a> first appeared last year, but now it sports a different look and a flashy website that will make you wish your speakers were inoperative. The set supposedly functions as a home automation controller, DVR, DVD player and Media Center PC, and just in case you doubted its prowess, this thing is somehow Viiv-certified <em>and</em> <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/27/leopard-hacked-for-intel-pc-consumption/">able to run</a> OS X.

There's a select group of red flags that appear when a product is, or is dangerously close to becoming, vaporware, and we've seen just about all of 'em when looking at McPerson's I-TV. Apparently, this so-called <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/16/lumenlab-shoves-pc-inside-42-inch-1080p-display-calls-it-q/">do-it-all LCD TV</a> first appeared last year, but now it sports a different look and a flashy website that will make you wish your speakers were inoperative. The set supposedly functions as a home automation controller, DVR, DVD player and Media Center PC, and just in case you doubted its prowess, this thing is somehow Viiv-certified <em>and</em> <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/27/leopard-hacked-for-intel-pc-consumption/">able to run</a> OS X. Specs wise, you'll find a 37-inch 1080p panel, dual 40-watt speakers (um, right), 7.1-channel audio out, built-in WiFi / Bluetooth, gigabit Ethernet and a slew of ports. Considering McPerson threw nearly everything in here save for the proverbial kitchen sink, it's not all that shocking to find a &pound;3,924.49 ($8,235) pricetag <a href="http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=560360&amp;source=nextag">floating around</a> the intarweb, and if anyone has any actual proof that this thing exists, feel free to dash our doubts in comments.<br /><br />[Thanks, Giorgio]<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/displays/" rel="tag">Displays</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/homeentertainment/" rel="tag">Home Entertainment</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/mediapcs/" rel="tag">Media PCs</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/08/mcpersons-37-inch-i-tv-does-it-all-or-nothing/">McPerson's 37-inch I-TV does it all... or nothing</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 08 Nov 2007 18:57:00 EST.

Those looking for a few more extras on their next <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/navigation/">navigation</a> system have a growing number of choices, but Altina is upping the ante by cramming even more gadgetry than usual inside its A680. Specs wise, you'll find a 400MHz Samsung processor, a four-inch 480 x 272 resolution LCD, 64MB of NAND RAM, 128MB of SDRAM, a SIRFstarIII module, integrated stereo speakers, headphone out, and an SD expansion slot for any excess media. Additionally, there's USB connectivity, an <a href="http://www.engadget.com/search/?q=FM%20transmitter">FM transmitter</a>, two-megapixel digital camera, AV input jack for flicks (or gaming) on the go, and a rechargeable Li-ion that should prove handy if you make your way into the wilderness. Sadly, there's no pricing information available on this <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/doitall/">do-it-all</a> device, but we've got a hunch it won't make it outside of China anyway.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.navigadget.com/index.php/2007/07/24/altina-a680-gps-navigation-with-2mp-digital-camera/">NaviGadget</a>]<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/digitalcameras/" rel="tag">Digital Cameras</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/gps/" rel="tag">GPS</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/24/altinas-a680-gps-navigator-features-av-input-digital-camera/">Altina's A680 GPS navigator features AV input, digital camera</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 24 Jul 2007 12:49:00 EST.

This navigation device includes integrated stereo speakers, a SiRF Star III receiver, DMB TV tuner, SD expansion slot, USB connectivity, rechargeable battery, and your choice of a 30GB or 60GB internal HDD. Of course, you'll also find the usual photo viewer and media player functions within, and while pricing information seems to be absent, we Americans won't be ponying up for this Korean-based gizmo anyway.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.navigadget.com/index.php/2007/07/10/i-station-n7tu-the-art-of-navigation/">NaviGadget</a>]<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/gps/" rel="tag">GPS</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/portablevideo/" rel="tag">Portable Video</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/i-station-n7tu-navigation-system-does-dmb-on-the-side/">i-Station N7tu navigation system does DMB on the side</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 10 Jul 2007 10:41:00 EST.

Shortly after unveiling the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/19/irivers-d5-electronic-dictionary-makes-us-want-to-learn-korean/">sexiest e-dictionary</a> known to man, the much anticipated <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/UNIT2/">UNIT2</a> conglomerate received its own teaser site, complete with photos and a few extra details you should know. While it has yet to lose its mystique, we now know (officially, at least) that the base will act as a DVD player, TV tuner, access point, charging station, hard drive, and a speaker station. Aside from sporting an SD slot and USB connectivity, this beauty will handle music, movies, photos, eBooks, and WiFi streaming without breaking a sweat. Mechanically, you can expect an automatic sliding door, detachable display, slot-loaded CD / DVD deck, and a 78-key controller to manage the fun. No word yet on the price, but be sure to peek the additional photos below.<br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/irivers-unit2-detailed-on-teaser-site/">iriver's UNIT2 detailed on teaser site</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/irivers-unit2-detailed-on-teaser-site/#282715"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2007/06/iriver-life-unit-unit2-biggie_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/irivers-unit2-detailed-on-teaser-site/#282469"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2007/06/unit2controller_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/irivers-unit2-detailed-on-teaser-site/#282468"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2007/06/unit2remote_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/irivers-unit2-detailed-on-teaser-site/#282467"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2007/06/unit2speaker_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/irivers-unit2-detailed-on-teaser-site/#282466"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2007/06/unit2screen_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/homeentertainment/" rel="tag">Home Entertainment</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/portableaudio/" rel="tag">Portable Audio</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/portablevideo/" rel="tag">Portable Video</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/20/irivers-unit2-detailed-on-teaser-site/">iriver's UNIT2 detailed on teaser site</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Wed, 20 Jun 2007 14:35:00 EST.

The University of Nottingham is hoping to change all that, however, by attempting to develop an all-in-one gizmo that acts as a "cooker, a fridge, and a generator," and relies on biomass fuels for energy. The &pound;2 million ($3.96 million) SCORE (Stove for Cooking, Refrigeration and Electricity) project seeks to create a "wood-powered generator capable of both cooking and cooling food," and it will purportedly rely on thermoacoustics to cut down on pollutants, increase efficiency, and be more reliable to future consumers in Africa and Asia. No word just yet on when this newfangled kitchen appliance will be ready to ship, but a portable version would probably do quite well in the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/search/?q=camping">camping</a> market.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://news.com.com/8301-10784_3-9719653-7.html?part=rss&amp;subj=news&amp;tag=2547-1_3-0-20">CNET</a>]<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/household/" rel="tag">Household</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/16/thermoacoustics-behind-all-in-one-cooker-fridge-and-generator/">Thermoacoustics behind all-in-one cooker, fridge, and generator</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Wed, 16 May 2007 15:49:00 EST.

We should preface this one by pointing out the impossibly low $265 pricetag as a dead giveaway that the Brica Viewart 1000 can't possibly be as good as it sounds, but we'll humor you anyway. This palm-sized <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/all-in-one">conglomerate</a> purportedly acts as a DVR, media player, video camera, still camera (shown after the jump), a PC webcam, image viewer, MP3 player, radio tuner, audio recorder, text file viewer, and a handheld gaming system, and just in case this wasn't good enough, there's also support for a bevy of languages, a built-in calendar, seven EQ presets, PAL and NTSC compatibility, and a horde of cables are thrown in to get you connected. Oddly enough, you won't be doing a whole lot of video capturing on the meager 2.5GB (512MB of internal space plus a 2GB SD card) of included capacity, and the 2.5-inch backlit monitor could probably induce squinting, but when you're getting close to a dozen <a href="http://gadgets.engadget.com/2006/08/24/giant-swiss-army-knife-offers-85-tools/">devices</a> in a 3.5-ounce device, you should certainly expect a fair amount of shortcomings.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.gadgets-weblog.com/50226711/12in1_gadgetwith_one_limitation.php">Gadgets-Weblog</a>]<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/07/bricas-viewart-1000-is-the-new-jack-of-all-trades/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Brica's Viewart 1000 is the new jack of all trades</em></a></p><p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/digitalcameras/" rel="tag">Digital Cameras</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/handhelds/" rel="tag">Handhelds</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/homeentertainment/" rel="tag">Home Entertainment</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/portableaudio/" rel="tag">Portable Audio</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/portablevideo/" rel="tag">Portable Video</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/07/bricas-viewart-1000-is-the-new-jack-of-all-trades/">Brica's Viewart 1000 is the new jack of all trades</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Mon, 07 May 2007 05:51:00 EST.

To be honest, there's not much about the TTool <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/all-in-one/">all-in-one</a> navigation system that differs from the hordes of other conglomerates hailing from <a href="http://www.engadget.com/search/?q=korea">South Korea</a>, but it's hard to deny the dashing good looks if nothing else. Running about par for the (overseas) course, this device sports a 400MHz <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/samsung/">Samsung</a> S3C2440A processor, 64MB of NAND Flash ROM, 64MB of SDRAM, a seven-inch 480 x 324 resolution touchscreen, USB, a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/sirf/">SiRF</a> Star III GPS receiver, audio in / out, DMB TV tuner, an SD / MMC flash card slot, and a media player that handles MP3s, movies, and still photos. There's Windows CE .net 5.0 runnin' the show, and while we're not entirely sure if the webcam-type device flanking the top records video, recognizes faces, or just amplifies the antenna, it's not likely to matter to the Americans in the crowd who will never have the joy of handling this.

Oh how we wish it were all just a horrific dream, but somehow, the engineers behind <a href="http://www.engadget.com/search/?q=clarion">Clarion</a>'s flashy new MAX9700DT in-car navigation unit <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/18/clarions-max960hd-in-car-entertainment-system/">still felt</a> it necessary to include support for a format that just refuses to die. Granted, the system is loaded to the hilt with features and supported formats, but we have a hard time believing that even the Japanese really still find <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/03/so-long-minidisc-dont-slam-the-door-on-the-way-out/">MiniDisc</a> and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/search/?q=atrac">ATRAC</a> all that attractive. Nevertheless, the unit also boasts a seven-inch touchscreen display, built-in <a href="http://www.engadget.com/search/?q=1seg">1Seg</a> TV tuner, DVD player, a 40GB hard drive, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/ipod/">iPod</a> compatibility, 50-watt x 4 amplifier, AM / FM radio, and support for a whole host of audio formats including WMA and MP3. Getting around shouldn't be too difficult given the expansive screen and "3D maps," and just in case that 40GB of internal storage isn't quite enough, you can cram an SD card or Memory Stick into it for a bit more space. As nice as all this sounds, few from crowds other than the elite will be pondering a purchase, as &yen;341,250 ($2,868) isn't exactly bargain basement (or even "good deal") territory.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.navigadget.com/index.php/2007/04/27/clarion-max9700dt-does-it-all/">NaviGadget</a>]<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/gps/" rel="tag">GPS</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/portableaudio/" rel="tag">Portable Audio</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/portablevideo/" rel="tag">Portable Video</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/28/clarion-max9700dt-all-in-one-does-in-car-nav-1seg-and-minidisc/">Clarion MAX9700DT all-in-one does in-car NAV, 1Seg, and MiniDisc</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sat, 28 Apr 2007 13:18:00 EST.

We've seen bargain-basement brands <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/08/pdcs-guide-dog-does-gps-gaming-and-parking/">toss gaming functionality</a> into a non-gaming device in a somewhat futile attempt to <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/15/sunconnection-kicks-out-handheld-pmp-do-it-all-smells-like-n/">polish up</a> a product before, and apparently, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/search/?q=dxg">DXG</a> has caught the consolidation bug too. The DXG-589V handheld camera / camcorder mimics the design of Sanyo's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/sanyos-xacti-hd2-high-def-camcorder-delivers-7-megapixel-stills/">Xacti HD2</a>, but rather than packing excellent resolution and HD capturing abilities, this rendition scales back on the goods that matter in order to reach a rock bottom price. Users will find a three-inch <a href="http://www.engadget.com/search/?q=LTPS">LTPS</a> monitor, five-megapixel CMOS sensor, MP3 support, a rechargeable Li-ion cell, SD card slot, and direct recording abilities from an external video source, but you'll only be grabbing MPEG4 footage at 640 x 480 resolution. Additionally, you'll discover 20 less-than-enthralling games built right in, and with the PlayStation-esque <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/22/sony-confirms-ps3-controller-redesign/">control pad</a>, Sony fans shouldn't have any problem getting the buttons down. Of course, the stripped-down nature of this here device allows DXG to shed a few dollars off the purchase price, but we'd be seriously cautious about dropping even $199.99 for this one.<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/digitalcameras/" rel="tag">Digital Cameras</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/gaming/" rel="tag">Gaming</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/dxgs-dxg-589v-camera-camcorder-does-gaming-too/">DXG's DXG-589V camera / camcorder does gaming, too</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Mon, 16 Apr 2007 16:44:00 EST.

The "mock-up" on display looked mighty fine, and although it was a tad on the large side, it's hard to cram a 4.3-inch WVGA (yeah, that's 800 x 480) touchscreen into anything much smaller. The innards consist of a TMS320 DM6441 processor, 64MB of Flash ROM, 128MB of RAM, a 1.8-inch hard drive in the 30/40/60GB varieties, rechargeable battery pack, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/wifi/">WiFi</a>, GPS, USB, and composite / S-Video / component video outputs to boot. Aside from the impressive hardware list, this Windows CE-powered device will also play nice with just about every format imaginable, including XviD, DivX, MPEG1/2/4, AVI, WMV, JPEG, BMP, and MP3, and the optional <a href="http://www.engadget.com/search/?q=hsdpa">HSDPA</a> dongle should keep users connected when hotspots are too far away . Sadly, we Americans aren't likely to see this beauty (click on through for the vid) without going through the appropriate import channels, but Korean dwellers can look forward to throwing down a currently undisclosed amount in the May timeframe.<br /><br />[Thanks, Voland]<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/iubis-wifi-enabled-pmp-1480-does-gps-dmb-on-video/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>iubi's WiFi-enabled PMP-1480 does GPS / DMB on video</em></a></p><p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/gps/" rel="tag">GPS</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/handhelds/" rel="tag">Handhelds</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/portableaudio/" rel="tag">Portable Audio</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/portablevideo/" rel="tag">Portable Video</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/iubis-wifi-enabled-pmp-1480-does-gps-dmb-on-video/">iubi's WiFi-enabled PMP-1480 does GPS / DMB on video</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sat, 24 Mar 2007 11:50:00 EST.

Although Chinese DAPs have a way of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/search/?q=chinese+knockoff">knocking off</a> the big boys and not really adding anything in the innovation department, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/search/?q=teclast">Teclast</a>'s C280 continues to shake the stereotype by offering up a bevy of swank features combined with a design that's easy on the eyes. The natural successor to the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/27/teclast-kicks-out-sleek-c260-do-it-all-for-chinese-market/">C260</a>, this flavor maintains the overall style and design as its less-spec'd sibling, but adds a Rockchip 2608A and Wolfson WM8750S "dual core" element, as well as touting sound quality similar to that found on the more expensive <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/06/teclast-tl-t29-media-player-is-slender-stylish/">T29</a>. Moreover, you'll find a 2.4-inch QVGA display, MP3 / WMA / AVI file support, an FM tuner, line-in recording, various games, text viewer, 2GB of internal storage, and a microSD slot for any excess media. The pocket-friendly C280 also manages a respectable battery life (around 12 hours), USB 2.0 connectivity, and should only cost you about $65 when it lands later this month.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.dapreview.net/news.php?item.3885.5">DAPReview</a>]<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/handhelds/" rel="tag">Handhelds</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/portableaudio/" rel="tag">Portable Audio</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/portablevideo/" rel="tag">Portable Video</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/16/teclast-readies-dashing-c280-all-in-one-pmp/">Teclast readies dashing C280 all-in-one PMP</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 16 Mar 2007 03:18:00 EST.

These fanciful <a href="http://www.engadget.com/search/?q=conglomerate">all-in-one</a> devices just don't seem to come Europe or <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/09/3softs-maxtombow-gps-conglomerate-headed-for-america/">North America</a>'s way very often, and unfortunately for most, Prober's P360 doesn't seem to be breaking that mold anytime soon. Packing a respectable mix of multimedia and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/gps/">GPS</a> capabilities, this pocket-friendly device packs a 3.5-inch touchscreen display, 400MHz Samsung S3C2440A processor, 64MB of NAND Flash ROM, 64MB of SDRAM, WinCE 4.2 runnin' the show, a SiRF Star III chipset, and a built-in speaker to boot. Furthermore, you'll find a dual-mode map for wrapping your brain around POI locations, voice guidance, a rechargeable five-hour <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/li-ion/">Li-ion</a> battery, SD card slot, USB 1.1, wired remote / headphones, audio out, and the ability to play back WMV, WMA, and WAV files on the AV front, while handling a bevy of snapshot formats and even boasting a text viewer. Unfortunately, we've no idea how much the P360 will run folks who are lucky enough to acquire it in four to six weeks, but just know that most of the world will probably envy you.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.navigadget.com/index.php/2007/02/20/p360-satellite-navigation-with-remote/">NaviGadget</a>]<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/gps/" rel="tag">GPS</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/20/prober-p360-gps-pmp-handheld-does-it-all/">Prober P360 GPS / PMP handheld does it all</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 20 Feb 2007 17:38:00 EST.

Sure, we don't mind the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/16/windows-xp-on-mac-solution-posted/">impossible</a> happening every once in awhile, but as with our favorite <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/phantom-gaming-console-disappears-for-good/2">flavor</a> of vaporware, if it sounds too sensational to be realistic, it (<a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/iphone/">almost</a>) always is. PDC hasn't quite pulled a no-show like the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/07/phantom-attracts-interest-delays-lapboard-yet-again/">lapboard</a>, but the firm's handheld conglomerate most certainly isn't everything it claimed it would be. NaviGadget caught up to PDC while at CES and got some first looks at the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/08/pdcs-guide-dog-does-gps-gaming-and-parking/">Guide Dog</a>, which is now referred to as the PDC-668C, and while it does pack a SiRF Star III receiver, 3.5-inch touchscreen LCD, directional pad, two pre-loaded games, adjustable backlight / volume controls, PAPAGO R12 navigation software, and SD / MMC / <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/31/keian-psd-waterproof-sd-usb-card/">PSd</a> memory slots, this Windows CE 5.0-powered navigator (unsurprisingly) lacks the far-fetched parking sensor and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/bluetooth/">Bluetooth</a> capabilities it previously boasted about. Moreover, it's grown quite a bit since its puppy days, garnered a coat of glossy white, and picked up a "suggested price of around $450 to $500," but the firm is still looking for a North American distributor to get these things moving.<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/gps/" rel="tag">GPS</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/handhelds/" rel="tag">Handhelds</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/pdcs-guide-dog-gets-real-loses-parking-and-bluetooth/">PDC's Guide Dog gets real, loses parking and Bluetooth</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Wed, 10 Jan 2007 16:10:00 EST.

Melding form and function most certainly isn't <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/10/art-lebedev-studios-unveils-artsy-sonicum-2-1-speaker-set/">new</a>, but Artemide's Rigel conglomerate mixed a hint of design with multifaceted charm in its three-in-one device. The floor lamp emits warm, colored light when powered up, functions as a mirror when turned off, and also features a built-in speaker system to boot. Moreover, it also touts an integrated air purifier, but whether you're actually better off <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/13/report-sharper-image-purifiers-actually-make-air-worse/">without out</a> is certainly <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/10/report-ionic-air-purifiers-create-cough-cough-smog/">debatable</a>. Nevertheless, this stand-up trio of devices could definitely act as a conversation piece, but at a cost of &pound;1,900 ($3,732), you're probably better off buying <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/04/bandais-gundam-robot-goes-life-sized/">one of these</a> and pocketing the difference.<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/household/" rel="tag">Household</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/portableaudio/" rel="tag">Portable Audio</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/06/artemide-floor-lamp-rocks-tunes-purifies-air/">Artemide floor lamp rocks tunes, purifies air</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sat, 06 Jan 2007 19:23:00 EST.

It looks like <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/04/directed-unveils-soloist-universal-media-dock/">Directed Electronics</a> has switched more than a CFO in the past couple weeks, as its once self-branded NAV420 conglomerate has apparently been shifted to the Clifford brand, which typically holds down the remote start / security system side of the multifaceted company. Currently, all we truly know is that the Scout 420 has received a nod as a top honoree at next week's CES, that the website is currently nothing more than a JPEG teaser, and that it bears a striking resemblance to Sony's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/psp/">PSP</a>. If we're to believe that nothing except the labeling has changed, however, it will purportedly include a 20GB hard drive, built-in GPS / navigation functionality, and music / video playback; judging solely by the control layout, we have to wonder if we'll see some sort of gaming / homebrew abilities bundled in as well, as the oddball (albeit very welcome) feature is its reported ability to tune into <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/sirius/">Sirius</a> satellite radio broadcasts while navigating your routes. Sadly, there's no word on pricing just yet, but hopefully we'll get a clearer understanding of just what this <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/do-it-all/">do-it-all</a> device is about in a few days.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.gpslodge.com/archives/009060.php">GPSLodge</a>]<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/gps/" rel="tag">GPS</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/handhelds/" rel="tag">Handhelds</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/portableaudio/" rel="tag">Portable Audio</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/portablevideo/" rel="tag">Portable Video</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/06/clifford-scout-420-navigation-unit-pmp-to-land-at-ces/">Clifford Scout 420 navigation unit / PMP to land at CES</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sat, 06 Jan 2007 15:29:00 EST.
