As dapreview points out, this just-announced Cowon N3 looks quite like the Cowon Q5W we reviewed a few weeks ago. The most noticeable difference comes from the fact that this has a 7-inch screen as opposed to the Q5's 5-incher. Other than that, there's no internal memory—you have to use one of two SDHC slots to add storage—and GPS and DMB (portable TV) support. The good news is that this does support DivX/XviD and all the other video and audio codecs the Q5W does, meaning that you'll never have to go a second without entertainment. Ever. [Dapreview]

If you need another reminder of how far ahead Korea is in the cellphone space compared to us, here's the LG KC1. It's got WiBro support, which is 4G and lets the phone get Wi-Fi speeds pretty much anywhere. The fast speeds allow the phone to do stuff like remote PC control, streaming videos, video calls and other ridiculously high-bandwidth apps that you could only do over Wi-Fi before.

iRiver M10 and D5 Players Bring Glossy Black Back in Fashion
Set to be revealed at SEK in Korea, the iRiver M10 and D5 both have a glossy black look found in other players like the iRiver Clix 2 (but not in the MPlayer). The M10 will be a navigation-centric device, with a gigantic knob on the right and a DMB tuner, which probably means it's going to stay put in Korean waters for now. More »

Samsung Brings PiP to Mobile Phones
Samsung is bringing a new phone equipped with Mobile TV to South Korea, the SCH-B710. While Mobile TV is just taking its first baby steps here in the States, in South Korea it's been going strong for some time now, so they're already on to a second generation of phones capable of streaming DMB signals.

LG SB190: DMB TV, GPS and Landscape View Mode
The LG SB190 crams DMB TV, GPS and all the multimedia functions you could ever stomach on a cellphone into a tiny (its dimensions are 3.9 x 1.9 x 0.7-inches) slider package. Like the iPhone, it looks to be able to go into a landscape mode in order to watch wide(r)screen video. There's no mirror like in the Shine, but, not being a Mean Girl, I'm not really going to miss it. There's a bonus shot after the jump. More »

LG FM37, FM33 and DMB T50: Portable Media With European Flair (?)
The decidedly derivative portable media player market can embrace with open arms the latest entries from LG, the FM37 (tops out at 4GB, $320), FM33 (4GB, $255) and DMB T50 (2GB, $265). As expected, the players are, to use a tired phrase, more evolution than revolution: all models are flash-based and have just barely watchable-sized screens (2.4-in. on the FM37, 1.77-in. on the FM33 and 2.4-in. on the DMB T50). What is a little more rare, however, is the e-book support found in the FM37. (Who could stand to read The Alchemist on such a small screen is a discussion that belongs elsewhere.) After all, books are as much a medium as terrible sounding MP3s and repeatedly transcoded video. More »

Pantech IM-R110 Cellphone: Swivel Display, Multimedia Galore
Time to contact your local Korean import guy, since the Pantech IM-R110 is just about ready to see the light of day. It's a cellphone with one of those newfangled "t" screens that pivots on command. The cellphone also works as a portable media player (one that can accept DMB broadcasts, no less) but the camera is only two megapixels. I say "only" because cellphones in here in the U.S. are starting to feature such cameras, which means that the Korea phones should be at least five megapixels. Korean cellphones > U.S. cellphones as a rule of thumb. Please accept these photos in lieu of other actual facts. More »

Samsung SCH-B630 Cellphone: DMB-TV, TV-Out and Plenty Thin
Samsung's line of ultra edition cellphones is about to expand with the release of the SCH-B630. A slider, the cellphone has a few features that make it stand out from the pack, specifically its 3.0-megapixel built-in camera and ability to pull down DMB digital TV broadcasts all within a 12.9mm (0.5 in.) thin body. Even more advanced is the fact that it has a TV-out port so you can watch DMB broadcasts on your TV should your TV not have the proper antenna. All this talk of DMB probably means that the cellphone will be exclusive to Korea for a little while. More lovely pics can be found inside. More »

Cowon D2 PMP Gets Officialized
Cowon has finally announced their latest PMP, the D2. This boxy PMP has a 2.5-inch screen that display at 320x240 resolution, up to 4GB of internal storage, up to 45 hours of battery life, integrated DMB, SD expandability, touchscreen, FM radio, and support for WMV9, MPEG4, MP3, Ogg, WMA and FLAC.

LG Xnote AV Laptop With Built-In DMB-TV Support
DMB broadcasts may be all but useless to us here in the good ol' U. S. of A., but over in Korea it's fairly well established. LG is taking advantage of this with its Xnote AV laptop, which feature a DMB-TV tuner built-in as well as support for mobile broadband of the EVDO variety. All of the laptops, which come in sizes ranging from 12-inches to a healthy 17-inches, feature the Intel Core 2 Duo processor along with the ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 GPU. In tandem, that means that the Xnote AV could be just what the [Korean] gamer ordered. Don't forget the built-in Wi-Fi (which, to me, should be as standard as, I don't know, a power button at this point), 5.1-channel surround sound and hard drives capacities up to 160GB. Have fun getting your hands on one and wrapping your head around this meta picture that LG supplied. More »

Cowon N2 GPS Device and Media Player: Only 32MB of Storage?
Rather than releasing a standard portable media player, Cowon's gone the GPS route with its N2. Sure, it'll still play most of the popular audio/video files out there, less FLAC, but it only comes with 32MB of onboard memory; connecting to external devices via USB is the only way to obtain the necessary storage to make it a truly useful media player. (Certainly, having to carry around external storage somewhat limits the N2's portability ease.) It does have a seven-inch display, but considering it's primarily a GPS device, it's hard to get excited about it. Right now, expect to find it only in Korea. More »

Samsung 4-inch DMB T450 TV Looks Like an iPod TV
This won't make it out of Korea, the Samsung DMB-T450 looks quite a lot sexier than the DMB devices we've seen before. It's got a built-in antenna, iPod-like white finish, MP3 playback, USB 1.1 connectivity, SD/MMC expansion slot and 4-hour battery. Boy those South Koreans sure know how to keep themselves entertained on the road—when they're not avoiding being kidnapped by North Koreans and forced to make movies. More »

Pantech IM-U140 Auto-Popup Sliding Phone With DMB
This Pantech IM-U140, which looks quite similar to my T-Mobile MDA, has an auto-popup screen that moves up to a 30-degree angle when users press the button. The screen is 2.6-inches wide, is QVGA, and plays back DMB TV. The phone itself has a 3 megapixel camera and PictBridge, so you can print out the pictures easily. There's also TV-Out so you can play the DMB on a real TV, 4 channel stereo speakers, and a touch screen. Slim chance this phone or anything like it will be available to the US in the next year or two. More »

Samsung Reveals SCH-B590 to the World, World's Thinnest DMB-Capabale Cellphone?
Samsung just took the curtain off its latest DMB cellphone, the SCH-B590, which is supposedly the world's thinnest DMB cellphone. Besides giving rise to the question How thin is too thin?, the cellphone has all the makings of being lost in the shuffle with the myriad other DMB cellphones out there, "there" being Korea, since that's the only place where DMB has taken off. The SCH-B590 has an ok 1.3-megapixel camera and an MP3 player, among other standard features you'll find everywhere else. More »

Samsung R7 10-inch DMB LCD TV Is The Largest DMB TV Yet
At what's surely the largest "mobile" DMB TV yet, the Samsung R7 comes in at a whopping 10-inches of real estate. Terrestrial DMB, or T-DMB, is a system they have in Korea for watching TV on mobile devices like cellphones and laptops. The R7 has a 16:9 aspect ratio, controls on the right, and is promoted as a "home multimedia device". More »

Maxtek 4.3-inch GPS Navigation With Picture-in-Picture DMB
If you think about it, we're a bit lucky here in the US. If we look at gadgets such as the 4.3-inch T-DMB GPS navigation device from Maxtek, it's like looking into our own future. Sure, we can't have this now, but in a few years, we'll be able to watch TV and get directions to Wal-mart using the same device. More »
