The Thanko MP4 watch lets me tell time and take compromising photos or video of coworkers at the office Christmas party? SOLD!
I’m not quite sure I’ve got this right, but this here thingy is a remote-controlled clock-MP4 player-hidden camera. Apparently it’s a product that can be used for “any purpose you can think of, without anyone ever being the wiser.” ¿Qué? The built-in camera is PAL and NTSC-compatible, there is 128MB of flash memory, as well as an SD card slot and USB 2.0.
As you might have guessed, the NXMP324 from Neux Corp is not what I would call a “serious” product, but those looking for something a little different may find its support for MP3, WMA, WMV, WAV and ASF file formats, built-in USB 2.0 port, FM radio, and 128MB to 4GB capacities mildly interesting. Not me though—I’m still holding out for the MP4 shaped like a bottle of Thunderbird in a paper bag. Pricing info available upon request. [Globalsources via PMP Today]
We’ve seen this “MP4 Watch” 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 $US89, 4GB multimedia super 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. More »

Panasonic just announced their new HDC-SD7 in Japan. Those tricksters are now saying that this is the world’s smallest HD camcorder, and not yesterday’s record-holder. This one has a vertical format but is it really the smallest of both?

Ooh, ooh ooh, all hail Samsung. Our top banana Koreans have brought out a new MP4 ASP camcorder that, although it looks like an electric shaver, can go from “Off” to “Record” (via “On,” of course) in three seconds. More »
