NOVOMAX's Joypot JP C210 DAP / flash card reader
If you're feeling the screenless, shirt-pocket-friendly DAP design, but want a bit more utility / expandability than what's offered in Apple's 2G Shuffle, NOVOMAX has just the thing. The Joypot CP C210 sports a palm-sized enclosure, weighs just 25 grams, and comes sans internal memory if you choose, or you can pick it up with 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, or 1GB of internal storage. For those toting more than a couple records, you can store the excess on an SD, miniSD, or MMC card, and the unit also doubles as a card reader for transferring any files from one device to another or to your computer's HDD. Featuring USB 2.0 connectivity, the JP C210 also touts five built-in equalizer modes, "about ten hours" of battery life on a single AAA cell, and (unsurprisingly) comes in black or white color schemes. There's no information regarding pricing or availability as of now, but if this thing can manage to undercut Apple's littlest rendition, it'd be hard to not recommend.[Via Slashgear]
NOVOMAX BT S200 car kit does dualin' handsets
If there's one thing better than a Bluetooth car kit that supports a single handset connection, it's a car kit that supports two. Enter NOVOMAX's BT S200, which re-ups the earlier BT S110 model by adding an OLED display and the ability to pair two phones (we're guessing you can't use them at the same time, since that'd be a logistical nightmare for all participants in the conversation). The pod-shaped device, which looks like it should clip nicely to a variety of surfaces to do its thing, also alleges to feature "Silent Design" -- which, with all due respect to NOVOMAX, is exactly what we don't want in a speakerphone; we'll just go ahead and assume something's being lost in translation there.[Via SCI FI Tech]
