Posted by Crystal Eitle in "HARDWARE" @ 11:12 PM
Remember the rumors of a JVC Pocket PC that first showed up here back in March? It's official. JVC will be releasing two new Pocket PCs in September.
Here's the exciting news for all you PPC audiophiles out there: "Features that both JVC iO Pocket PCs share include the JVC AV player that supports MP3, WAV and Ogg Vorbis compressed audio files, as well as AVI (MPEG4) and ASF (MPEG4) video files. The player also includes a graphic equalizer for customizing the sound’s tonal quality, a sound position expander that creates a broad soundfield when listening through headphones, and a Compression Compensation Converter that expands digital signals to improve fidelity. The latest Microsoft Windows Media Player is also included." Optional accessories include a headphone with wired remote! It's about time.
"Other shared features of the two models include 128 MB of SDRAM, 32 MB of Flash ROM, a CompactFlash Type II expansion slot, an SDIO capable SD/MMC Card expansion slot, a 16-bit (65,536 colours) 3.5" transflective TFT display, a USB client port and a non-exchangeable 1100 mAh Lithium Polymer battery.
"To these features, the MP-PV331 adds the aforementioned MPEG4 video capture, MPEG4 video streaming, built in Wi-Fi (802.11b) connectivity, a USB host/client port which enables connectivity with several JVC camcorder models, a digital still capture from camcorder feature and the ability to remotely control certain JVC camcorder models from an application on the handheld (focus, zoom, play, pause, stop, fast forward, rewind)."
With dual slots, 128 MB of SDRAM, USB host/client, PXA255 processor, 3.5" transreflective screen, optional flip cover, built-in Wi-Fi, and native support for Ogg Vorbis and MPEG4, the MP-PV331 may be the Pocket PC I've been waiting for!
