CES 2010: Coby MP837 gets touched up
comment: 1 | Monday, January 11 (2010) 02:09PM | Posted by Michael
It's been a while since we've reported on a player from Coby, and probably longer still since we've had something nice to say about one. It's hard to say positive things when your lineup is filled with bottom of the barrel Chinese rebrands.

Perhaps the same can be said about the MP837, but it's looking a lot better than their previous offerings. The MP837 has a 3.0" touchscreen with haptic feedback, decent format support including OGG, FLV, H.264, and Xvid, and has an estimated battery life of 22 hours. Below you'll find a quick demo of the player courtesy of engadget.

While it won't blow anyone away, the MP837 likely won't break the bank either. Keep an eye out for it this Spring.

Thanks Saijin_Naib

Damn Step, now you got me all jealous!!!

I've found my new phone!

Unfortunately I need to carry a convergence device at work, as I might be listening to music and miss a call since I can't hear my phone ring/feel it vibrate. That's why it's such a big issue w/me - a call to an emergency might mean life or death. If I'm using a stand alone device it could prove disastrous.

Step666
It's the hardware that I like, the premium feel and decent all-round spec.

Sure, it's not perfect - I'd prefer a dedicated camera button and an HDMI-out but nothing out there ticks all the boxes.

As for multimedia, it's not really something I ever use my phone for so I can't comment on that.

TheDarkSide
It's the only phone that does multimedia right, and for a LOOOOONNNNGGGG playback time. Plus that display,.....

@Saijin: I'm really quite anti-Apple and even I'm considering getting an iPhone4

TheDarkSide
@Saijin: So did I,.......

Saijin_Naib
Thought you'd never touch an Apple product again?

This new Samsung Orion CPU sounds interesting. Suppose to be like the dual core version of the Hummingbird cpu.

bloodycape
Yeah I saw that, hopefully Tegra2 is good with battery life. Did the devices with og Tegra cpu get good battery life?
