Not to be left out, iLuv's also brought out another internet
radio / alarm combo and it looks exactly like you'd think it would. Only cooler. The iNT170's
packing access to 15,000 radio stations and podcasts through its built-in WiFi, aka INTERNET (see
photo). It's got two 2.5 watt jAura sound speakers, a dual alarm clock, plus a 3.5mm line-in if you
need to plug in your PMP. The clock self-updates via INTERNET, so you'll never be able to use that
Daylight Saving Time excuse for being late to work again (we recommend the "flooded basement" or
"sick cat" in its stead), and you'll have the option to wake to INTERNET or regular radio in
addition to the old standby buzzer. It's available now for $199.

The ibiza Rhapsody was one of those
curious devices that spent so long in development that by the time it saw the light of day, the
rest of the world had moved on to bigger and better things. Sure, we liked the device in theory
(WiFi, Bluetooth, and support for Rhapsody and AOL Video are all good things), but its
Gameboy-esque looks and mere 30GB storage pretty much guaranteed that it would never be a hit.
Unfortunately, a quick look at Haier's new, "sportier" PMP doesn't give us much reason to
reconsider the device. Aside from a rugged and weather-resistant new look (is "uglified" a word?),
all it seems to offer us is diminished storage capacity. But wait -- all you ever wanted was a
plastic orange MP3 player? Then it looks like you're in luck -- the 4GB model sells for $179, while
the 8GB size will set you back a cool $199.

The COWON has released a new software development kit, which give developers the opportunity to
make applications for the O2 PMP. The O2 has a
4.3-inch screen and looks like the big brother of the D2. Besides the usual video and music files
support it has T-DMB TV, which is a Korea-only technology. A beta version of v1.14 software is
also downloadable from the COWON site.
You don’t need an O2 to test your app when you do make one with the inclusion of an
emulator. Generation MP3 has posted the literature of the COWON SDK here. The
COWON O2 developmental community will not be nearly as crowded as the iPhone but with the
4.3-inch screen and digital TV support, we’re betting this won’t be a vain move for
the Korean PMP maker.
Enfin, un nouveau firmware, plus un nouveau SDK (Linux est recommandé pour
l’utiliser), permettant aux développeurs en herbe de créer des applications
“third-party”. A noter donc que ce SDK renferme un émulateur, afin de
pouvoir tester son application avant de la copier sur l’O2. Pratique, mais indispensable. A
côté de ça, Cowon a donc sorti le nouveau firmware du PMP, version 1.14 beta,
réduisant les “gaps” entre les chansons, apportant aussi une plus
large compatibilité avec les formats vidéo, moins de soucis avec les wallpapers
ainsi que de nouvelles formes de transitions entre les images. Le tout est à
télécharger ici pour le
SDK, et
ici pour le firmware.

Notre équipe vient de publier le test du nouveau Cowon O2, voici sa
conclusion :
Cet O2 n’est peut-être pas un must-have mais il n’en est pas moins une
réussite. Plutôt que de multiplier les fonctionnalités parfois inutiles,
Cowon propose un PMP simple d’utilisation et très performant.
En effet, avec un boîtier compact et léger, un écran tactile qui ne fait pour
une fois pas regretter les boutons et une interface efficace, on profite avec un grand plaisir du
savoir-faire de Cowon en matière de compatibilité et de qualité
audio/vidéo.
Toutefois, le label HD est pour l’heure plus marketing qu’autre chose sur de tels
appareils, surtout avec la résolution de l’écran, mais on ne va pas dire non
tout comme à la présence d’un adaptateur secteur. Plus étonnant est la
faible puissance sonore que ce soit pour la sortie casque ou le mono HP.
Tout n’est donc pas pour le mieux dans le meilleur des mondes mais cet 02 est très
séduisant. Reste qu’avec de la mémoire flash jusqu’à 32Go, les
prix, surtout Français, peuvent faire hésiter face à ce que propose la
concurrence.
Cowon vient de mettre en ligne une nouvelle version de son kit de
développement (ou SDK) à destination du Cowon O2 !
Celui-ci permet à la communauté de développer diverses applications pour le
nouveau PMP de la firme coréenne, que les utilisateurs n’auront ensuite plus
qu’à utiliser sur ce même appareil. Estampillée 1.03,
cette nouvelle version offre la possibilité d’émuler les programmes
réalisés directement sur un PC, plus besoin d’avoir le PMP, ce qui va
facilité la création d’applications.
À noter toutefois que pour profiter d’un de ces programmes sur son PMP, il est
indispensable de disposer du firmware 1.12, actuellement en version bêta.
Le SDK est à récupérer directement sur le site
officiel de la firme, tout comme le firmware bêta 1.12 d’ailleurs et la notice de
ce SDK (en anglais) est disponible ici. N’hésitez pas à nous faire part de vos
commentaires si vous avez l’occasion de tester ce kit de développement, en
particulier sur les possibilités qu’il offre ainsi que ses éventuelles
limites.
