Portable Media Players: Packard Bell AudioStar
ChipChick provide a report on the Packard Bell AudioStar portable media player:
You don’t see many Packard Bell products here in the states anymore, but overseas they are pretty widespread. The AudioStar is a coin-sized voice recorder and mp3 player that will even play DRM WMA files from music subscription services such as Napster. It also weighs a miniscule 49 grams yet manages to have a 1.8 inch color LCD for playing back video and Jpegs. Unfortunately, you have to first convert the video file to Packard Bell’s own ‘MTV’ format. The tiny PMP seems to be Packard Bell’s answer to Samsung’s YP-T7JZ, or maybe even an attempt to compete with Iriver’s U10. It’s a shame that the battery life is just barely decent at about 10 hours.
