Pucker up, jet-setters — South Korea’s own KAON Media has a new PMP on the way, and for whatever reason, we’ve found ourselves strangely attracted to what the KM35 has going on here. The “Anywhere TV and Internet” device runs on Windows CE (and handles fresh-out-of-cinema films very well) and features a 3.5-inch 320 x 240 resolution display, 4GB or 8GB NAND flash drive, WiFi, an SD expansion slot, optional FM tuner and your choice of DVB-T/H, ISDB-T or T-DMB TV tuners. Early estimates peg battery life at around 2.5-hours when watching live TV, though there’s no word yet on pricing or worldwide availability.
[Thanks, J. Carter]

Time flies when you’re having fun, but not when you’re waiting anxiously for a new piece of kit — particularly one that has been delayed numerous times. For Europeans waiting on pins and needles for the release of the PlayTV DVR for PlayStation 3, your time has arrived. Before rushing out to get one, however, might we interest you a short unboxing and a brief overview? No pressure whatsoever, though.

We’ll go ahead and nix some lingering excitement in the room: Sony’s latest line of Hard Disk Drive DVD Recorders are aimed squarely at Europe.

The RDR-HX680, HX780, HX980 and HX1080 all come ready to fetch analog broadcasts, while the RDR-HXD790, HXD890, HXD990 and HXD1090 also include a DVB-T digital tuner.

Take a look in the read link for the full chart of specifications. [Warning: PDF read link]

The European mobile phone community was rocked by the news today that DVB-H (or Digital Video Broadcasting - Handheld) is set to become the new standard for mobile TV across the Union. The technology — a superset of DVB-T — has been spearheaded by Nokia, and this move is meant to help widen the system’s audience. Though the move has been opposed by some EU states, such as Germany and Britain, the standard is being pushed through. “DVB-H will be published by the Commission in the list of official EU standards,” said an EU executive, adding that, “As a result, all EU Member States will have to support and encourage the use of DVB-H for the launch of mobile TV services, thus avoiding market fragmentation and allowing economies of scale and accordingly affordable services and devices.” So much for our fledgling standard, DVB-X (the X is for extreme).

While you’d be hard pressed to distinguish many of the PMPs coming out of China these days from one another, the same cannot be said for Yung Fu Technology’s latest piece of gear, which goes all Speak & Spell on us with a integrated handle to help ease its 2-pound weight load. Contributing to that weight is the unit’s sizable 7-inch screen, as well as its integrated DVB-T mobile TV tuner and a built-in speaker although, curiously, there’s no indication as to what storage options you can expect. Also, as with most of these, there’s no word on pricing or availability, but those looking to pick them up by the truckload (and slap their name on ‘em, perhaps) can contact the manufacturer for more information.
