maxian d900: media player on steroids

Korean electronics manufacturer Maxian has recently unveiled their upcoming D900 portable media player.

The player features just about everything you could want in a portable. The 4.3-inch display looks great, and supports up to 800×480 (better than DVD) resolution. The audio features include a Burr-Brown digital signal processing, and full support for Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks (downmixed to 2ch from what we can tell). 802.11b/g Wireless connectivity is also provided. The device can also tune DMB television signals with a built-in antenna, although it’s unlikely this feature will be useful outside of South Korea any time soon. The system runs on the WinCE 5.0 platform, and an Adobe Flash based user interface.

Hopefully, we’ll see these turn up on eBay at some point.

Ghostsurfer… you want it portable but bigger? Remember when Portable DVD Players first came out with 4 inch screens? I had one the size of a CD Player, but with a screen. Then they got bigger, and no longer something you can just pull out to watch, unless you’ve got both hands free. As for these devices, the size of a wallet is perfect to slip in your pocket. Anything bigger and you need to buy a carrying case which defeats the purpose. It’s up to you… something you can stick in your pocket, or something the size of a book to carry around?
