Plezo intros game-emulating PMG-250 handheld
While it may have trouble prying folks away from their do-it-all GP2Xs, Plezo's new PMG-250 portable media player looks like it could attract the interest of at least a few nostalgic gamers, boasting some game emulation support in addition to the usual audio and video capabilities. Of course, you'll be somewhat limited in your gaming options, with the NES, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Sega Mega Drive (a.k.a. Genesis) the only consoles supported, although that should still be more than enough to help you re-learn some of those old school skills you may have forgotten. The device itself also looks to be decent enough, with a 2.5-inch LCD, 2GB of internal memory, and an SD slot for some sure-to-be-needed additional expansion. Not surprisingly, this one looks to be exclusive to Korea for the time being, where it'll set you back 169,000 won, or about $180.[Via AVING]
Plezo's PM-220 PMP takes screen rotation to new heights
We've got nothing personal against screen rotation, even the automatic variety has its time and place, but unfortunately for Plezo, our imagination is limited to about 90 degrees of this gimmicky stuff. Plezo's PM-220 shatters modern rotation convention by going for a full 360 degrees, allowing you to watch your screen in whatever funky screen configuration your heart desires. We suppose the extra flexibility could help out south paws and the like, but other limitations like a 2.2-inch screen and 1GB of flash memory aren't helping Plezo's case of using this thing as a video player. The dual headphone jacks, FM radio, voice recording and games are all nice touches, but we're pretty sure there are better ways to spend 109,000 won (about $117) in the great land of South Korea.
