Jewel Strip Adorns KVA P30 PMP

KVA P30

By: Jenn K. Lee on February 27, 2007 11:13 PM

Here's something to plug those sparkling ear drops into: the P30 portable media player by Chinese company KVA. The product page is short on details, but after stitching together scraps of info scattered around the Web, we think we've got something of a complete picture. And it looks pretty nice (even if, as we suspect, those "diamonds" are of the plastic or glass variety).

The 2.4-inch QVGA (320 x 240) display is ideal for watching WMV and AVI videos (30 fps), viewing photos, or checking out track information while listening to Ogg, AAC, WAV, and MP3 files that have been transferred over a USB 2.0 connection. The non-removable battery is rated at 25 hours of audio playback, though if the P30 really maxes out at 1GB, stellar battery life like that isn't worth much.

There's something about "online games download support" and mention of the iPod here, but we don't know what to make of it. And at this point, pricing and availability are scoring a bit higher on the list of essential stuff we still don't know.

1 Gig really isn't very much. Does it perhaps support SD Cards (e.g. 4 Gigs mini SD) and internal memory is only 1 Gig?

Samsung P2

The Samsung P2 has been gaining quite a following lately and rightfully so. If you are looking for something well designed, innovative, and feature packed; you should look into this full touch screen wonder. The Bluetooth feature set is what I find to be the most intriguing, with the ability to tether to your phone to make calls or wirelessly transfer with no restrictions to other P2s. Check out the review or stop by our ever growing P2 forums to get the latest info.
Toshiba Gigabeat T400

The Gigabeat T400 is without a doubt my favorite flash player at the moment. It does have one major setback in that it only comes in a 4GB, shame on you Toshiba. What makes me love this player is it's ultra slick sexy design, very easy- just pick up and use interface, and killer sound quality that would make Cowon users envious. This player is a must buy for anyone who sports a premium set of headphones. Full review to come but you should really just buy one.
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.
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.
JAYS q-JAYS

The q-JAYS are great in ear phones. They offer excellent clarity, silky treble, realistic midrange, and a nice bass response. They're comfortable, incredibly tiny, and come with a huge selection of accessories. While they certainly are analytic phones, they're still fun to listen to. The q-JAYS respond well to EQing, and can be tweaked to fit almost anyone's sound preference. Recommended for anyone owning a good sounding player and well encoded audio files. Check out our review.
