JVC NX-PN7 Dual iPod Dock Now Available

After showing off its NX-PN7 dual iPod dock way back in the beginning of this year, it looks like JVC has finally pushed the thing out on the floor. It doesn't seem like much has changed in the ensuing months, however, with the dock still boasting the same ability to not only charge two iPods (or iPhones) at the same time, but playback each one through the unit's speakers or have each one go off at two separate times with the tune of your choice.

Otherwise, you can rest assured that you'll be getting the usual FM tuner, as well as a standard analog audio input for your non-Apple audio devices and a video output for some larger screen viewing of your iPod's contents. Despite doubling down on the music players, the unit is just 13 inches wide. In addition to being able to toggle between "iPod A" and "iPod B," the NX-PN7 features a clock, an auxiliary line-in, and a horizontal light beneath each iPod dock that can be set to any one of nine colors.

If that sounds like a gadget you have been waiting for, then you can get one for $150

Nextar Launches Sleek and Stylish T30 PMP

Nextar, the consumer electronics division of the MAC family of companies has just launched its sleek and stylish new T30 PMP.

The features include a 3.5-inch QVGA display, along with 4GB of memory, an SD card slot for expansion, a built-in FM radio, and support for all the basic audio formats, although you'll have to convert videos to AVIs using the included software. If that sounds cool to you, you can grab one of these up now from a whole host of retailers, including Wal-Mart, for a $100.

But I really missed a touchscreen display in this PMP, more so because touchscreen has kind of become a standard feature on all the new PMPs.

Cowon's A3 PMP Now Offers 80GB Storage

The Cowon A3 PMP is not the best looking PMP in the world but it sure has a lot of fans, who I’m sure will be delighted that the A3 can now compete with other HDD PMPs in the market in terms of storage capacity. If you too are one of them and have been holding yourself back because of A3’s storage capacity then this is great news for you. Cowon’s A3 PMP now offers 80GB of storage capacity.

Cowon have already earned a big name when it comes to quality and build. The specifications and performance is more or less similar to previous A3 models.

The new 80GB Cowon A3 PMP costs €448 or about $698. Seems a bit overpriced but looking at the reputation of the A3 in its size segment (4-inch screen), and all the images, music, and movies you'll be able to load up on it, this certainly seems a good deal.
