Kenwood HD20GA7 20GB MP3 Player Press Release

kenwood-dh20ga7.jpg Kenwood just announced their player for release in Japan at the end of this month. It has a nice looking design and a killer 2.2” QVGA color screen. It sports a 24 hour battery life and measures 104×61×17mm. It already supports 7 different languages so we will likely see it soon here in the US. Other gadget sites are reporting that there is no FM support and no picture support. However, the press release does state that there is support for album cover art. But, then again, its just a press release, and perhaps a poorly translated press release.

I have always been a fan of their head units. It has a nice disign and an already establish brand name. If they can get the right distribution it may do well.

Wow I really like the look of this. smooth and the buttons look easy to use for a left hander like me. There does look to be a lot of screen space. Im still kind of weary of kenwood products.

Their head units are great, i never had a problem with them. That would be a nice integration if they were to adapt this player to thier head units.

I sent Kenwood email asking about the availability of the HD20GA7 in the US and they basically told me not this year.
Ah well. It's a nice looking unit though.

Top MP3 Players
abi Editor's Choice
  • SanDisk Sansa Clip
    SanDisk Sansa Clip

    The Clip has a fantastic little form factor; cheap in build quality but very rugged. The interface is simple and relatively straight forward. The features on the clip are more or less average, mostly identical to the Sansa Express. However, what earns this player a spot in Editor’s Choice is the superb sound quality; you will not find another player at this size and price that can match it. Read the full review or go ahead and buy it.

  • Samsung P3
    Samsung P2

    The Samsung P2 was a success and the P3 is a very welcome and substantial update. Samsung has paid close attention to users on P2 issues and made great strides in addressing and improving most of them. The best feature of the P3 is its native video support. Most content you thow at it will playback without conversion on the great looking screen. Stop by the Samsung P3 forums for more details or check out our indepth P3 review.

    Sure, many of us are not big fans of the walled garden, but there are a lot of great things going on with the Zune- sturdy hardware, ultra easy to use user interface, and a media player that is worthy of editor’s choice. The best part of the Zune is the constant firmware and software updates virtually giving you a new device at each major refresh.

  • Cowon iAudio D2
    Cowon iAudio D2

    The D2 is a fantastic sounding PMP with a very nice looking screen and a tone of features. One of the best features of the D2 is the SDHC slot allowing you to add another 32GB to this small wonder. The touch interface does not lend well to on the move operation, but it is not enough to keep it from being an editor’s choice. You can find usually find it at Amazon for the best price and before to check out the review.

  • Phonak Audéo PFE
    Phonak PFE

    Phonak Audéo PFE offer outstanding clarity and precision; natural, dynamic mids and treble, and decent bass for a single armature in-ear phone. They handle dense, complex music very well. The PFE work well with most acoustic and some electronic music genres, but bassheads might have to look at other alternatives. They're great for sports as well, since they fit very securely.
