My Little PMP

This morning started off with a super foggy skyline, damping my spirit to finish my journal paper writing (Lame excuse!). What I am happy with, however is that my little portable multimedia player was safely in my hands. Yes, I purchased a imuz MU-1000 player from the Internet on Wednesday. The delivery guy came in the middle of my Korean class on Friday, which I told him to wait while I "excused" myself and ran all the way back to my lab. The guy told me he would just leave it by the office same floor as my lab. Lucky it was still there when I returned. I guess no one is interested to know the "story behind" and would like to see the product directly. Here you go.

4.3" touch screen player is not cheap (I have paid ₩167,600 around RM450 for everything including the accessories I needed) but considering I can't afford an iPod Touch or iPhone, this could be the closest I can get. Although I was hoping to get Cowon, Samsung, iStation or even iriver, but after browsing, they are way beyond what I can afford. Let me put some more photograph on how it can be compared in term of size with some objects. Sorry for my poor photography skill and especially I'm using one of those old digital camera.

It can support quite a number of files without conversion, RMVB in particular is what I have been looking for. It also comes with FM radio receiver and so on, you can read the product specs from the product link above.

It is about similar size to RM1 bill, and thickness wise, the following picture could tell you more. The PMP is on top, while the bottom is my (technically it's my sis's) portable HDD, with my Dell Vostro 1400 next to it.

The device cannot support Vorbis Ogg and H.264, which I really hope they will soon release an update to the firmware, given that they are going to launch MX6 soon here in Korea.

How long can the battery last?

I'm not very sure the exact battery time, but I have tried playing 4-5 RMVB videos that lasted slightly more than an hour per video before the battery was out. Not too sure this is a good benchmark.
