Gway's YouGO Hits 20gb
Posted by James Fee in "HARDWARE" @ 12:00 PM
"We first saw this movie-playing DAP back in April (read), with a 4.4gb drive. But when we found Gway Technologies at CES, the rep showed us a 20gb version. Much better, considering the amount of space that just one movie can eat up. So we got a chance to play with it, and the YouGO seems like a reasonably good device, all in all. The screen is relatively large (2.5-inch) and bright, with adequeate resolution (352x240). Movies played smoothly. The menu system looks decent, and build quality was good. Our main gripe was the size of the unit, at 109x74x23mm, it's about the same dimensions as Creative's Zen Xtra, another biggie. The design itself is not bad - a little plain - but the rep showed us some drawings of alternative, better-looking designs (for the chassis), should we want to brand this player as our own."
I'd love to see more of these devices arrive here in North America, but alas it seems that they can't find someone to distribute it.
