Today ’s DAP newspaper headline :

We take a look at theMobiBlu DAH-1600 , check out a weird metal box – once code - named“Rio Audio Vixen ” – and peep at Archos’Gmini-500 … among other thing .

Yesterday , we brought you the downcast - down on the agonizing death of Rio Audio ( a former key musician in the DAP industry ) . Today , we ’re add someadditional informationon the “ Vixen ” projects and an former epitome of the Chroma . Next to that , we ’ve combined all of our noesis concerning this detail and put it intothis nice summary .

MobiBlu seems to be on fire these days . soon after the achiever of their DAH-1500 ( “ the block - shape musician ” ) , they come up up with the DAH-1800 . Now they ’ve upgraded their be DAH-1400 player and rename it“DAH-1600 ” . Very inspiring , no ? Well , at least bombardment life has break up to 20 hours per charge . The biggest advance would have to be the accession of USB - Host 2.0 functionality .

The ArchosGmini-500struck us as “ a bit odd . ” Unlike its heavyset brother - in - arm , the Gmini-402 , the G500 is quite a bulky auto . It does come with a nice 4 - in screen and sane specifications … but the G500 seems to be nothing more than a stripped AV500 ( there ’s no video transcription functionality ) . It well be cheap or really , really nerveless .

Every now and then , one comes across special object while shit at even more peculiar depot . The Dutch retail merchant “ Blokker”—not precisely known as a certified seller of DAP applied science — decided to take the plunge . They ’re bid something address the“Xiron portable media player ” , which basically does anything you want at a bare 199 Euro . We suppose there ’s got to be some snap somewhere , and we ’ve pick out one disadvantage already : it come with only 128 MB of canonic storage capacity ( expandable to 1 GB , though ) .
