You may know of Dane-Elec has one of the main distributors of Meizu’s M6, which is a phone similar to the iPhone.  Now, they have decided to venture into the PMP market themselves and they recently introduced 4 of their first PMP’s - the Music Mediatouch, the Music Touch, Music Pix and the Music.  Definitely some interesting names for PMP’s, in my opinion.

First, let’s talk about the Music Mediatouch.  It comes with a 4.3-inch touch screen with 480 x 272 resolution, TV out, FM Tuner, and support for many audio and video formats including AVI, WAV, and MP3.  It also comes with support of WMA, WAV, APE, FLAC, JPG, GIF, and BMP.  The Music Mediatouch will be available in 2 models, a 4GB and an 8GB.  The 8GB will sell for 150 Euros, or $202.  I imagine the 4GB to sell a bit less than that.

Moving on, we have the Music Touch.  It comes with a 2.9-inch and even though it has the word “touch” in its name, it uses buttons instead of actual touch technology.  In addition, it comes with a nice 1.3MP camera, and FM Tuner.  Similarl to the Music Mediatouch, this PMP also comes with support for a LOT of formats.  It supports RM, RMVB, AVI, FLV, MPG, Flash, and DVD.  Additionally, it supports MP3, WMA, WAV, ADPCM, JPG, GIF, BMP, and WAV.  With all this format support, you’re almost guaranteed to play music or video in a format you currently have it on.  Lastly, it sells for 120 Euros or $161.  It doesn’t say how much hard drive it comes with, but I’d imagine it to be 4GB. 

Next, we have the Music Pix.  It comes with a 2.4-inch screen with a 320 x 240 resolution.  This one, however, doesn’t come with support of as many formats as the above two, but a sufficient amount.  Formats include MP3, WAV, ADPCM, WMA, MTV, JPG, and BMP.  It will be selling in only a 4GB model, and will retail for 60 Euros, or $80. 

Lastly, we have the Music.  The Music is a screenless MP3 player, similar to the iPod Shuffle.  This one supports only MP3 and WMA and sells in a 2GB version for 35 Euros or $47.

Whether you want a device with a big screen and video playback, or just a simple player, you are sure to find one offered by Dane-Elec.  Since they listed the Euro cost first, I would assume that they will be available in the European market before the American market, if at all.
