odd-i's P480 conglomerate gets DaVinci chip
We'll admit, odd-i's P480 has been around the proverbial block a time or two before, and while the design sure ain't changing much, the internals are yet again seeing a refresh. The latest iteration adopts a Samsung 4.8-inch WQVGA display (love the shirt, bro!), SIRFstarIII GPS receiver, DMB TV tuner, built-in extendable antenna, up to 60GB of internal hard drive space, TV in / out, USB connectivity, uPIM scheduling software, an e-dictionary, and most notably, a DaVinci chip that reportedly "enables users to enjoy a variety of video files without encoding." Slated for release this month in South Korea (where else?), interested consumers can expect it to start around ???458,000 ($498). Peep a few more shots after the jump.
odd-i stuffs DMB, GPS into P480DN portable media player
While this iteration of the P480 looks mighty similar to the one we caught at CES, it looks like odd-i decided to just stick with the same enclosure and bump up the internals in the P480DN. The Windows CE-powered handheld sports a widescreen display, built-in e-dictionary, GPS, DMB TV tuner, an SD expansion slot, and a 30GB or 60GB hard drive to boot. Unfortunately, details surrounding price and availability for the 60GB variety are nowhere to be found, but it was noted that the 30GB edition should land sometime this month for a currently undisclosed amount.[Via AkihabaraNews]
odd-i showcases high-resolution P480D PMP
We hadn't heard from odd-i in quite some time, but it was good to see the PMP creator back at CES, bringing the fresh goods along for the ride. The firm's latest, dubbed P480D, bears a striking resemblance to its P11N, bit this rectangle has a spruced up layout and design, and rather than rocking the same ole 4-inch LCD, this thing boasts a 4.8-inch display with a reported 1,024 x 768 resolution to boot. Little is known about the (presumably potent) innards just yet, but we do know it'll sport black / silver or white color schemes, a kickstand, USB 2.0 connectivity, headphone jack, and of course, the obligatory DMB tuner. Per usual, there's no mention of pricing or future availability, but be sure to hit the read link for to gawk a little more at that svelte screen.
Odd-i keeps the PMPs flowin' with P15DN
More DMB/PMP goodness from Odd-i, this time in the near gamer-esque P15DN that sports some pretty crazy functionality for a little Korean handheld. Along with DMB, GPS, video, audio and photos, the unit can "support" MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF and all sorts of other crazy file formats. There's also an Audio Dictionary, and a 20GB or 30GB HDD to store it all. As for price, availability and Korea exclusivity, you know the drill: no idea, no idea and of course.
Odd-i's skinny N700D 7-inch DMB unit
That's it, we're moving to Korea. Sure, we've made this idle threat before, but with all these crazy 7-inch DMB players popping up every few days, we're just not sure how much longer we can take it. Yeah, we don't really watch much TV here in the States, and we can't imagine Korean TV is much more entertaining, but it's just the mere principle of the thing. Today's offering is the Odd-i N700D, which strikes a pretty dashing figure, and does the whole DMB/PMP/GPS thing like normal. Like the similarly specced Viliv N.70, the N700D doesn't have any included storage, and instead works off of SD cards and external USB drives. The codec support is pretty good (MPEG-1/4, XviD, DivX, WMV7-9), but full resolution and/or frame rate isn't supported on the WMV codecs. For the other codecs, the PMP supports up to 720 x 480 resolution, but we're not quite sure that the actual display is 720 x 480. If we had to guess we'd say it shares the 480 x 234 resolution of the Viliv. The device also supports FM, a rear camera add-on, and the expertly crash-inducing picture-in-picture function to allow you to watch a video and your GPS map simultaneously. With driver distractions of this magnitude, perhaps we'll rethink our move -- but if these things start going to HD resolutions we're gone.[Via dapreview]
odd-i's P11N Win CE 5.0 PMP with GPS
Remember that peculiarly named, but otherwise damn fine odd-i P10 PMP you all (ok, ten commenters) liked so much? Well, odd-i just one-upped themselves by sprinkling in a bit of SiRF Star III GPS with a dash of Win CE 5.0 and christening the new chubster P11N. What's more, all the goodness that is the P10 carriers over so it still sports that same 4-inch, (480 x 272) 16:9 TFT LCD, unspecified dual core CPU, 2 megapixel cam, the ability to record direct from TV, up to 30GB of storage, USB 2.0 hosting, eBook reader, and support for a wide range of media formats including MPEG-1/4, Xvid, DiVx, WMV, MP3, WMA, OGG and AC3. Oh yeah, and it's still destined for Korea-only at the moment.[Via Akiharaba News]
