With support for MP3, WMA, ATRAC, Sony PCM and AAC/High Efficiency AAC, as well as MPEG-4/H.264, these players come with enough playback potential to make them contenders for a space in your pocket, as well as your heart. More info beneath the gallery.

The 2.4-inch (320 x 240) LCD display may be on the small side for serious video viewing, but the PMPs are sliver thin at 9.3mm wide and weighing in it at only 59g, the screen size is easily excusable. Add to the mix a 36-hour battery life for tunes, or a 10-hour life span for video viewing, and it seems like the new Network Walkmans have quite a bit to shout about. No word on pricing or shipping dates as yet, but we can't wait to give them a go. [Akihabara]

The A720 IS is a 8-megapixel shooter with 6x optical zoom lens and optical image stabilizing that will cost a remarkably low $250. The A650 IS takes the spotlight, however, with 12.1 megapixel resolution, 6x optical zoom lens and a twisty 2.5-inch Vari-Angle LCD, all for $400. Both cameras use Canon's new DIGIC III engine for faster startup, smarter autofocus and less shutter lag. [Canon]
