Aigo MP3 Player Leaves Me Feeling Puzzled

Elaine Chow — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 03:00:00 EST

While this upcoming mp3 player from China's Aigo looks cool, it's hard to piece together more information about it. Aigo's given us no specs, no price, and no release date. Drop a hint, Aigo! [Yesky]

Aigopen Reads Books So You Don't Have to

Haroon Malik — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 16:45:00 EST

The Brief: Hold the Aigopen up to any content in a book (text or images), and it will read out exactly what is going on, in either Chinese or English. We were amazed with the concept, clarity of audio and miniature size. As ever, there was a catch.

The Catch: It only works with books made specifically for the device, which are put together by Aigo themselves. Last time we checked, Aigo wasn't big in the publishing industry, so good try guys. Perhaps we shouldn't knock it. We are sure it will work great with tourist paraphernalia and the like, (they had an Olympics guide on show, which kind of makes sense). No word on pricing or shipping dates at present. [Aigo]

Intel Silverthorne UMPCs Are Dreamy Goodness

Mark Wilson — Sun, 06 Jan 2008 22:40:37 EST

With Intel's new Silverthorne processor, we can expect a whole new line of smaller, faster and more power efficient UMPCs...many of which we spotted today. We groped models from Aigo (a touchscreen slider with 3MP camera), Clarion (nonworking but small), Lenovo and Toshiba (a blingtastic but a bit slow). A mixture of final products and prototypes, we were most impressed by the promising Aigo, with gesture recognition that, even if a little rudimentary, fulfills our tiny gadget obsession. Scratch that, we were most impressed by a bookmark-looking concept that was promised to be form-achievable one year from now. Feast on the eye candy below while we wait on more complete details.

AIGO USB Drives, for Couples

Mark Wilson — Sun, 05 Aug 2007 14:00:58 EDT

Love comes in many forms: roses, chocolates, consensual anal relations, and now, USB drives. The AIGO his and hers flash drives will not only prevent USB mixups, but they'll further reinforce necessary gender roles in a relationship.

For instance, a woman is supposed to be prissy and like hearts. That's her job. A man is supposed to...like red circles. That's his job. And by following those two simple geometrical guidelines, you too will have a healthier relationship. No price or size details on the drives yet. But who are we to put a price on your love?

Aigo F029 Watch All-in-One Media Player

Travis Hudson — Mon, 14 Aug 2006 17:13:23 EDT

This is the F029 watch from Aigo. It is a little different from the average MP3 playing watch out there because it has a full color OLED screen. It plays MP3 and WMA and it can even play MPEG-4 video on the 160x128 pixel screen. Included will be 512MB or 1GB of memory and, oh yeah, it can tell time. But that is the least important feature. – Travis Hudson

First Look: Aigo MP-P335

Travis Hudson — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 13:12:02 EDT

GenerationMP3 got a first look at the latest portable media player from Aigo. The MP-P335 is a 30GB device that supports MP3, WMA, WAV, MPEG-1, 2, 4, AVI, DivX, XviD, JPEG and text files. It has a nice palm-sized form factor and the battery life is mediocre at best with five hours of video playback. It runs of a Linux platform and even has line-in and video recording. Price speculation is currently around 400 Euros, or approximately $500. Hit the GenerationMP3 link for more pics, a video sneak peak and a preview of Aigo's other miniature player, the E868. – Travis Hudson

johnb — Tue, 14 Feb 2006 10:21:05 EST

Generation MP3 has a piece up (warning: FRENCH) about the Aigo MP-335,which is going to debut at CeBit in March. According to the translation, they claim it uses USB 2.0 and has compatibility with WMA,MPEG-1/2/4, AVI, Divx and text files. The tiny handheld runs off a Linux type OS , and is about five inches high. It also bears a strange resemblance to the Sidekick.

There's no price announced yet, nor U.S. availability. Merde.

Aigo Tiny PMP

tgrumet — Tue, 17 Jan 2006 11:09:57 EST

Lovin' the form factor of Chinese manufacturer Aigo's newest PMP called the E858 MP4 player. Extremely small and square, it comes with a 2-inch color TFT display and up to 2GB of flash storage—always nice for a portable media player. It also supports MP3, WMA, OGG and MPEG4 files and uses USB 2.0 to transfer data up to 480MB per second. Battery life is ok, with up to 3.5 hours for video and 5 hours for music. And it weighs just 2.8 oz. Runs about $300.

DAP Delights for October 18

johnb — Tue, 18 Oct 2005 16:08:00 EDT

Today's DAP Headlines:

Some new goodies from Panasonic, an English perspective of the iRiver U10, a crazy/ugly 3 LCD DAP from China, and Ultra w/ email on the go.

Panasonic isn't terribly popular in the Mp3 game, but they're still working at in nonetheless. The fruit of their labors are the thin and sleek SD-V3x0 and SD-V7x0 (come on guys, we've seen weirder names). They lack built-in memory, making use of an SD slot for music and data. The big eye-catcher in the specs is the battery life; 23 hours for the SD-V3x0, 45 for the SD-V7x0, and around 100 freakin' hours for each using an external battery module! A step in the right direction it seems...

We've reported probably a half-dozen times on iRiver U10 reviews in Korean, but here's a sweet photo review by the head of an iRiver fan site (a few weeks before its actually N.A. release no less). Their conclusion"

In closing, the iRiver U10 is a nice multi-purpose player that supports many functions and performs each function well. Its challenge as always is memory size vs. price and in these times of iPod nano's, iRiver has a lot to overcome. We only hope that 4, 6, or 8 GB versions come available at a more competitive price point.

From Aigo, one of the Chinese kings of rebranding, comes the MF-361, which may take home the title of "Ugliest DAP of the Year." Seriously, it has some sort of armadillo thing going on, and while the concept of three small LCDs seems kind of cool (one shows a clock, one shows battery meter, the last one playback info), they just look bad in practice. Better luck next time fellas.

Finally, something so Ultra, we had to save it for last. Yes, that's the name of the player, and yes, Ultra Products are the dudes that make it. You know there isn't much to go on when they tout "email capabilities" has a feature. Basically, the Ultra includes a bare bones email client on the player itself, so you can send/receive mail from another computer. The thing is, in less than five minutes, you could download and install a better mail client to the drive yourself. Next!

Thanks folks, catch ya next time!
