SOLVO S830 does DMB/GPS/PMP, just like everybody else
We hate to burst SOLVO's bubble, but this whole "device with 7-inch screen which happens to sport DMB, GPS and PMP functionality in a fairly skinny and dashboard-mountable form factor" concept has been done before. Many, many times. But with that bubble-bursting out of the way, SOLVO's new S830 is looking pretty good, with some decent stylings and hefty spec love. The 7-inch touch screen runs at 480 x 234, and fronts a Windows CE OS. There's 128MB of SDRAM, along with 64MB of NAND, and if we're reading correctly there seems to be a 1GB SD card thrown in too. The GPS is powered by a SiRF Star III chip, while TV is the standard T-DMB variety, along with an AV-in plug, both of which are recordable if you've got the storage space. The 0.92-inch thick heft isn't terrible for a device of this kind, but we're guessing most of these won't stray far from their dash-mounted setup. No word on price or availability, as usual.[Via Akihabara]
Solvo S330, yet another Korean DMB/GPS/PMP
You know how we love to tease you with daily forays into the world of well-screened Korean devices featuring DMB tuners, PMP function, and GPS navigation (if we're lucky). Today's device is the Solvo S330, which includes all of the above, along with 20 or 30GB of storage, a built-in dictionary, and support for Flash games. Sadly, we can't find the specs on the screen, but according to the image above it looks like there's some hefty codec support, including H.264 at 352 x 288 (which we're guessing is the native screen res), WMV9, MPEG-4, DivX and XviD. No word on price or availability, but what's it to you anyways?
