Iubi have an interesting Bluetooth PMP so you donät have to connect your headphones with the device. The usb headphones consume power and need to be recharged after about 4 hours, but the concept of using Bluetooth for headphones is interesting.

A corean PMP manufacturer. Showing their latest 4.3″ 480×272 PMP with backlit blue buttons in the style of a Motorola Razr. The representative is also talking about the next generation Texas Instruments chip which playsback full HD 1080p DivX, support WiMax and Wifi. They say they will launch such a device with a 800×480 touch-screen, with a browser and other software in November. November is only 2 months away, so it is to be seen. But getting some information about the next generation Texas Instruments PMP chip is very interesting. Maxian is the only corean PMP manufacturer I know which also supports WMV DRM Playsforsure. Though I donät knopw if they also support subscription WMV, at least itäs not DVD resolution for now.
