Cowon N3 PMP with GPS, DMB

Cowon just announced its new N3 PMP in Korea. The Cowon N3 uses the same Alchemy AU 1250 600MHz processor and runs Windows CE 5.0 and also supports the exact same video and audio codecs as the Q5. Unlike the Q5 the N3 has no internal memory but rather uses two built in SDHC slots for extra storage. Also it has 7 inch touchscreen with 800 x 480 resolution display, comes up with DMB (mobile TV) support, DivX/Xvid and all other audio and video codecs that are supported by Q5, 32MB flash memory, 128MB RAM, SiRF Star III GPS Chipset, FM transmitter. The body measures 191mm x 120mm x 26mm. This device will hit the shelves in Jan 2008, and the price is not stated by the company yet.

Maxian E900 Blue Black PMP

Maxian has launched a new media player known as the E900 Blue Black that will be made available in Korea. The E900 Blue Black features improvements over the E900 series, featuring a color that follows its namesake along with a 60GB hard drive. The LCD displays up to 16 million colors (more than you’ll need) at a brightness of 350 candela, along with a 170-degree viewing angle. In addition, you get H.264 support. Too bad for people like me (living outside of Korea) will may probably never get hold of the E900 Blue Black.
