Posted by Chris Leckness on 06/28/06 in Music Players
A "hybrid" music entertainment company with several revenue models says it is shipping its first portable media player (PMP). Titan Global Entertainment’s "Omni" PMP runs Linux, has a 4.3-inch QVGA display, and offers standard media recording and playback features, according to the company.
Titan claims to be a very fast-growing company specializing in "artist management," "record production," and music distribution, among other pursuits. The company also runs a "Titan Tunes" website, which it plans to expand into a "Titan Universe" site with video and other media downloads. The Omni device will integrate with its media portals, the company says.
The Omni is positioned as a more featureful, lower-cost alternative to Apple’s iPod Video product. Touted features include:
- 4.3-inch "HD quality" LCD
- 30GB hard drive
- Bluetooth wireless
- USB 2.0 interface
- Lithium ion battery offering 8 hours of video or 15 hours audio playback
- Weight — 15.2 ounces (260 gm)
- Audio/video I/O supports MPEG4, DivX, XviD, WMA, MP3, OGG
- DVD recorder functionality
- Photo wallet functionality
The Omni appears to be available now, priced at $500, with ear buds, PAL and NTSC video cables, USB cables, and an AC power cord.
