We don't know too much about the 2.7-inch touchscreened YP-R1, as it's merely leaked onto a British online shop, but it looks like the YP-R1 is set to bring it in the audio department (with AAC, FLAC, and OGG support in addition to MP3 and WMA) as well as video (where it can read Xvid, DivX, H.264, MPEG-4, WMV, and, oddly, Real Media Video). It's got TV-out to display all that goodness on a big screen, though the only capacity we know about is a paltry 8GB, which just doesn't cut it these days. The page shows a release date of July 30th and a price of about $180 USD, which is a little pricey for an 8GB player. We'll keep an eye on the R1 for more official specs, and check out our Samsung P3 review for a look at Samsung's current PMP line. [DapReview]

Available in pink, blue and natural, it costs just $43 and is would be the perfect gadget for kids as it's cheap and its wooden casing surely makes it a lot more resilient than your average MP3 player.

At their larger size, 6" in length and a 2.5" width, the bears should fit comfortably in a child's hand, but not in his or her mouth. Nevertheless, they do come with drool-proof caps on the USB and audio ports.

Each player is controlled by its eight buttons, is USB 2.0 compatible, has a stereo headphone jack and of course, parental controls. The site recommends the product for children under 36 months of age, so why exactly does it need a voice-record function? – Kevin Hall

Until Reigncom confirms the existence of the S7, we'll just have to hold our breath and speculate wildly. Nothing wrong with that, but sometimes—just sometimes—we like some hard facts to go along with leaked pics. Until then, let the rumors spread. Besides, it's not like this alleged iRiver does anything any other knockoff DAP can't do. – Nicholas Deleon

The player weighs just 2.1 ounces, and launches in Japan in February. Of course, there's no stopping any Linux user from loading their flavor of linux on any USB-capable MP3 player, including the iPod. So maybe this Wizpy isn't as useful as they'd have you believe. – Jason Chen

Battery life is expected to be in the 15-hour range for this portable media player, or PMP as the kids say. The 4GB version will retail for $125 when it comes out. – Nicholas Deleon

There's nothing going for this that other similar PMPs don't have except for Ogg support and removable memory. Which are, actually, two fairly nice things to have. Ogg is good if you're some kind of open source/audiophile nut, and removable memory is always good so you can carry around a bunch of CF cards to supplement the one in the player. Swap out when you want to listen to a new set of tunes.

The UI is in English and Chinese in case you want to import it. No word yet on price. – Jason Chen

MP3, WAV, WMA and OGG support for audio, and MPEG4 support for video makes this passable. It does get 30 hours of music playback and 4 hours of video playback, which is more than Apple's newest video iPods.
