INNOVATIVE 4GB LCD MP4 Wrist Watch

Posted on May 11th, 2008 by jennyyu : Tech Gadgets & Gizmos jennyyu



We’ve seen this “watch mp4” before...though it looked a little
different. We noticed the original about a year ago, and then an update
not so long after. Now here is the latest version of the wristwatch
PMP—the stuff Chinese OEM dreams are made of. An $60, 4GB multimedia
super mp4 watch, it can play back pictures (JPEG, BMP), music (MP3, WMA), and movies
(MPEG4)...wait...what? This newest MP4 Watch doesn’t play sweet, modern
MPEG4 compressed movies like its predecessors? No, actually it plays a
file extension called MTV. And no, it has nothing to do with that MTV.

MTV or .mtv is an MPEG video derivative that manufacturers have implemented
to avoid licensing fees associated with MPEG4. And just swapping the
extension won’t do the trick—you have to send all your video through
their conversion program.

So while this watch can read ebooks, record voice, and even display your song lyrics, the older iterations could at least handle the real codecs. What can we say? They sure don’t
make them like they used to.
