Following yesterday’s letter to TrekStor, purveyors of the dubiously-monikered iBeat Blaxx MP3 player, we received an email from Gil Szmigiel, Vice President of TrekStor, effecting an immediate name-change to something a little less offensive. See the email after the jump. More »
Dear Trekstor
Your PR division sucks/may never have learnt how to read aloud. Given both of those possibilities are not mutually exclusive, we have a strong inclination to believe both statements are true. You are doing a great job at proving us right, all thanks to your new iBeat blaxx MP3 player. More »
It’s not the first media hard drive we’ve seen, but TrekStor’s new MovieStation gets kudos for being one of the biggest. The MovieStation stores up to 500GB worth of media and can connect straight to your TV (without the help of your PC). On the video front, the drive supports all of the popular formats from MPEG to DivX. It’ll even play your HD content. Audio-wise, there’s no AAC support, but you do get MP3, WAV, WMA, and OGG. Like other media drives, it also comes with a remote control. Pricing starts at $299 for 250GB and $399 for 500GB. – Louis Ramirez
The latest music player from Trekstor, a company who’s given us the oddly shaped Vibez, has been named the Sweez. Besides weighing just one ounce, the Sweez has FM playback, 1 or 2GB storage, a neckband, plays back MP3/WMA/WAV/WMA-DRM10 and features USB2.0 support. All in all it’s nothing revolutionary since we’ve seen so many USB stick-shaped MP3 players that our feces is starting to be shaped like them.
But hey, we’re sure somebody’s interested in the Sweez. Lands soon at $59 and $79. – Jason Chen
