Review of the Tatung Elio Photo Jukebox
Posted by James Fee in "HARDWARE" @ 08:00 AM
"The elio could turn out to become a versatile competitor to iRiver H3 and perhaps even the iPod Photo (unlikely though, the sheer size and feel of it are no match to a slightly thicker version of the iPod v4 + color screen), although we need some clarity as to its availability and suggested retail price. By itself, the unit’s firmware is pretty stable and not too hard to get used to. It’s the software part that’s worrying us for now – if one isn’t able to upload large amounts of tracks with reasonable ease, what’s the use of putting 20GB inside of the elio then, right? "
Given how popular USB Hosting is over at Pocket PC Thoughts, maybe Tatung is on to something. Expect this to cost about $400-500 if and when it is available in the U.S.
