Samsung TicToc PMP player lets you shake right past that Ke$ha song

Back at CES Samsung apparently unveiled this little guy — the TicToc PMP , which seems to be aiming firmly at the iPod shuffle demographic — whatever demographic that is. This little bad boy’s got just one physical button (for power and volume control) while other functions of the player — playback, skipping past songs and the like — are all controlled by shaking

Samsung IceTouch hands-on (video)

Samsung’s IceTouch PMP sets itself apart from the rest with its two-inch transparent AMOLED screen, and boy, is it a looker. While the rest of the device is slightly reminiscent of a baby toy, the screen itself is killer and the image couldn’t be more clear or crisp. Unfortunately, the engineering sample we got to mess around with was not loaded up with any video so we couldn’t see that in action, but if the smoothness of the interface is any indication, playback shouldn’t be a problem — save for the fairly tiny screen

Sony NWZ-S745 on sale in Canada, US given cold shoulder

We don’t know about you, but every time we hear of a Walkman, we think of the old school cassette players , and are left strangely disappointed by the slinky modern variants and their tons of storage. The 16GB S745, which has absolutely nothing to do with Mickey Mouse we assure you, has entered North American retail channels, only it seems to have skipped the US for its more peace-loving neighbor up north. Eagle-eyed Canadian shoppers have spotted the more advanced version of the S740 on sale in Sony Style stores (for 200 CAD or 188 in real American currency), replete with a 2-inch screen, noise-canceling earphones, and an unhealthily thin case

Haiter’s Theater PMP sports a 3-inch touchscreen, recession-friendly price

There are PMPs in every shape and color , and while we’ve never been particularly fond of Haier’s contributions to the segment, its latest might just find a home in that all-important lower-end of the spectrum.

Sony joins 1,000-hour recording club with IDC-UX300

DoubleTwist now powered by Amazon MP3 store

Here’s the choice promised by DVD Jon last week: Amazon MP3. Doubletwist is now powered by Amazon’s 5 million strong music store in support of its vision to connect consumers with all their media across any device. The interface is bare-bones simple to navigate (no apps, TV shows, or Movies to clutter the experience) as you preview and purchase music with your Amazon credentials — tracks are downloaded into your doubleTwist library where they can be synced with BlackBerry or Android handsets, the Palm Pre, PSP or hundreds of other devices.

Thanko Microsports MP3 player is small, really small

Thanko is a brand forever tied to crapgadgets. It can, however, surprise us occasionally as it has with its new Microsports MP3/WMA/WAV player in 2GB (¥4,980 / $55) or 4GB (¥5,980 / $66) models
