GenerationMP3 takes a peek at the Aigo MP-335 & E868  comment: 8 | Tuesday, June 27 (2006) 04:55PM | Posted by Robert Sinke They've brought it to our attention before, and now Greg from genMP3 has some in-depth video video footage on these weird Aigo devices to share with us.The MP-335 is a white-colored PMP that comes with 30GB worth of storage capacity and it supports MP3, WMA,WAV, MPEG1/2/4, AVI, Divx, Xvid, JPEG, TXT. Runs for about 5 hours (through a removable battery) when playing video while measuring 128 x 78 x 22mm. The MP-335 runs on a linux-based platform; supposedly, it'll cost about 400 Euros in the end. Stuff like USB-Host, a widescreen (480 x 272px) TFT LCD, video recording and line-in encoding aint too bad either. We have to say that the demo model we saw at CeBIT was very... plastic-like, but well - that's how things go. As for the E686: that's the successor to the E858. Equipped with an SD slot and capable of playing MP3/WMA/OGG/MPEG4/AVI (DivX)/VOB/DAT/MPG/MPEG/TXT/JPEG, it's quite the busy little bugger. too bad the battery life per charge is a mere 5 hours for audio (3.5 hours for video).

The ZVM is pretty much the most "high-end" DAP I ever got....I got started on DAPs by getting a Dell Pocket DJ, lol. It was a re-branded Creative DAP. All others I got are Sandisk DAPs....

Yeah, I used to remember when I was jealous of Creative DAPs. I couldn't afford to have the "top of the line" DAPs back then, and messed with no-name Chinese OEMs.
These days, you're almost better off taking that route. Cowon still seems to put out quality. Samsung just makes Android players, same for Archos. MPIO (my favorite) has become defunct. These are dark times for DAPs Lacene
I still have my ZVM that I got when they first came out....it still works and looks like new...I never abused it and put one of those clear protective shields on it and got a silicon case for it.
A shame that Creative put it out - their most highly-regarded DAP ever - and then seemed to go downhill immediately afterwards... Saijin_Naib
Yeah, I played with one. Pretty slick, great interface. So great in fact, that Apple largely knocked it off and sued Creative to keep the rights. Bastards.
I have a Creative Zen Vision Micro 6gb I need to repair/swap drive out of. LiQuiD_FuSioN
Anyone have experience with the Creative ZEN Vision:M? Now that was a cool looking player too, never got to try one out though.
Saijin_Naib
Yeah, my friend had the S9 and he really loved it, especially the custom GUIs people would cook up.
I noticed that Cowon recently released a D20 and an X9. They both look rather tempting. Availability looks spotty at the moment though :L My favorite DAP probably would have been the Zune30, if it was slightly more customizable. The RIO players had great auto-playlisting & searching support. Similarly, the Haier Ibiza (despite its other shortcomings) has a brilliant filter feature and related features during playback. It, however, can't make a shuffle list to save its digital life so it gets on my nerves using it as my car player. Yeah, people still seem to love convergence devices. I'm still of the mind that I'd rather have devices that are designed for a specific task, and execute that task properly. The biggest pet peeve I have is crappy tools, and convergence devices by definition, are crappy tools. By attempting to do everything, they do no single task well. SarahV
@Saijin: The J3 is one of the best DAPs I've had. The GUI is way better than the S9. The hardware is pretty similar. I still have a special place in my heart for the iRiver Clix, though. Loved the interface on that so much...
The problem we have today is that hardly anyone actually uses a DAP and they don't want to carry more than one device. I probably carry my mp3 player more than my phone, but I realize most people are not like me

This community was tops. I still think we could be.

Good ol' DAP Review! I still remember when Engadget would rip your stories off.
Saijin_Naib
That sounds like a decent size for a music library. How are you finding the Cowon? They seem to be one of the few manufactures left that makes anything halfway decent. I'm not interested in Yet Another Android Slate (YAAS) like the Archos line have devolved into.
But Sarah, the iProducts are the bestest things ever! Their batteries last like, totally way longer than like, other players do! View all posts (9209)

I like the looks and size of the 868, and the memory card slot. Any chance of being available in the States?
