HyOn Xent X3 GPS PMP

HyON is into serious gadgetry for a while, and the Xent X3 PMP makes its portfolio even fatter and juicier. The Chinese company has also some other interesting stuff out on the market, such as the HN-3300T PMP and HyWi T10 devices.

The one you are to know about as follows was dubbed “Xent X3” and packs a series of interesting features, that one don't get too see on many devices of this kind, as they are pretty expensive to integrate in mass-marketed items. Therefore, besides its common media specs, such as audio and video ones, the Xent comes enhanced with an integrated GPS navigation system. However, Korean electronics makers seem to have developed an obsession with adding GPS functionality on all sort of devices.

In addition to that, the portable media player features some impressive hard specs and gets powered up by a single 3000mAh battery. Moreover, X3 runs exclusively on a 500Mhz Alchemy processor. It also come with cool internal memory capacity storage, of 128MB of SDRSM.
And if that's insufficient for all media stuff, then one can boost its brain up with SD card via the built-in card slot. The design is nothing to take your breath away, just a black glossy body and a cool metallic red frame where the control buttons were ingeniously placed. When it comes to its design patterns, the portable media player reveals a nice and way -too- generous 7 inch LCD screen display.

The player's dimensions are also convenient ones of 193 x 128 x 22mm, which means it will probably fit in your backpack.
