MSI Wind shipping in "3 to 5 weeks," Advent rebadge available now

by Darren Murph, posted Jul 2nd 2008 at 9:37AM


Okay, so we've got hard evidence the Wind is shipping out somewhere in the world, but the latest status check on Amazon reveals that it'll be another 3 to 5 weeks before Americans can indulge. Granted, we've seen these dates slip around a bit, so hopefully it'll slide to "sooner" if anything. Interestingly enough, the Advent 4211 rebadge is shipping this very moment to customers in the UK for £279.99, though that currency conversion is apt to be a real thorn in your side when looking to import.

MPIO's MO100 DAP takes a note from Grundig

by Darren Murph, posted Oct 26th 2007 at 12:26AM


MPIO's MO100 doesn't have a whole heck of a lot going for it, and interestingly enough, neither does Grundig's MPixx 2000. Of course, that could be because they're likely the exact same player save for the branding. Just look for yourself -- you'll notice the same 1.8-inch 160 x 128 resolution display, MP3 / WMA / SMV / JPEG / BMP format support, FM tuner and real-time recording as found on the Grundig, and in case you needed any additional proof, the MO100 arrives in 1GB and 2GB flavors, too. Nevertheless, it still features USB connectivity, around 12-hours of continuous playback and looks a touch nicer in that blue motif, but don't expect anything revolutionary for obvious reasons.

Nokia's DVD-3800 player -- is this for real?

by Darren Murph, posted Sep 26th 2007 at 2:21PM


We know the rebadging / knockoff fiends have kicked out some seriously stupefying gear in the past, but we just find it (mighty) hard to believe that Nokia is actually venturing into the DVD player market. Nevertheless, a tipster reportedly snapped the above shot whilst out in Almaty, Kazakhstan, and while one may assume that the player was simply some other firm's "DVD-3800" with a Nokia emblem, both Denon and Astar's iterations look fairly different. So, dear readers, what on earth is going on here? If anyone has even a remote clue what this thing is, drop us a line in comments -- oh, and be sure to peep the other two snapshots after the break.

[Thanks, Javed]
