Samsung Unleashes 22X DVD Burner, Smallest 500GB HDD

Samsung's Spinpoint M6 is the world's first 2.5-inch, 500GB HDD. Standing in at 9.5mm tall, the M6 will easily fit most existing laptop hard drive bays. For those of you worried about sloth-like performance, the Spinpoint M6 has a 5400rpm spindle speed, an 8MB cache, as well as a 3.0Gbps SATA interface. A Free-Fall Sensor can be added as an optional extra. Not content with breaking the world record for the HDD with the smallest size/biggest capacity, Samsung is also introducing the industry's fastest DVD burner. More »

Meizu M6 Mini Player SL Hands-on Video

The folks over at MeizuMe got their hands on a new M6 Mini Player SL and compared it to the old Mini Player model. The Mini Player, if you don't remember, is a nano-like competitor with similar features, but a less usable UI. The new version is essentially the same player, except noticeably thinner and smaller, and with some slight new UI features. Take a look at the video (but turn down your volume) to see what's new.

Meizu mDock Speaker Dock Coming Soon For M6, M3 Music Cards

Meizu Me reports that Meizu will release a speaker dock slightly reminiscent of iPod speaker docks for their M6 player. The M6, if you recall, is a small nano-ish player that's actually quite good, despite taking much of its design influence straight from Apple. This dock will be 88 grams and measure 208x87x86mm. That's 0.2 pounds and 8.1x3.4x3.3 inches. That weight seems a bit off, but the mDock will have replaceable docks to fit the the M3 Music Card as well. [MeizuMe]

Meizu Miniplayer SP: Cheaper But Still Great

The Meizu Miniplayer review we looked at yesterday is getting an "SP" edition. We think the SP stands for "So Poorpeoplecanbuyit", because all the features are the same, yet it's nearly $30 cheaper than the price of the standard edition. More »

Meizu M6 vs. Oracom UB 890—Battle of the Non-iPods

We have been talking up the Meizu M6 and the Oracom UB-890 for quite some time now. Both look promising, and both make me contemplate ditching the iPod. Our hombres at dapreview got their hands on both of these units and set up a head-to-head, Thunderdome style, battle for non-iPod DAP supremacy. In a long fought—14 pages long—battle, the Meizu M6 came out victorious, expecially thanks to the good video playback and overall quality. If you are on the rocks about getting one of these two DAPs or shopping for something a little less iPodish, definitely check out this review—it covers everything. – Travis Hudson More »

Meizu M6 Video Preview

We have the tendency to throw around the cliché "iPod killer" more often than I throw dollar bills at strippers, but this time we mean it. Really. We have heard nothing but praise about the Meizu M6 portable media player and if this video doesn't seal the deal for you, we don't know what will. It is small, has a big and beautiful screen and the interface is very user-friendly. On top of all of that, the prices don't seem too horrific. $219 for the 4GB, $159 for the 2GB and $139 for the 1GB. Anybody want to buy a nano? – Travis Hudson More »

Meizu Miniplayer M6 Coming to the US

Toshiba Tecra M6 Core Duo Laptop

Apple's MacBook's not the only one releasing a $1000 laptop with a Core Duo processor this week. Toshiba provides an alternative to our favorite fruity fellows with the Tecra M6. Starting at $1059, you'll get a 40 GB hard drive and 256 MB of ram. However, it doesn't come with Bluetooth or Wifi, so you'll have to add that on extra. But, its 12.1 inch 1280x800 display and 4.1 pound body should be great for business travelers, which is the target Toshiba is aiming at. More »
