AOC recently announced the new V9, which is claimed with 90 hours of long battery life. The AOC V9 is powered by Sigmatel’s latest STMP3710 solution. The solution features an ARM926 32-bit CPU, running at 206Mhz with 99dB SNR. As usual, it plays WMA, MP3, AAC, and WAV audio.
Detailed specification and price are still unknown. By the way, it should be tagged with affordable low price!

Philips GoGear SA28 is the first MP3 player that features its own Fullsound technology. The SA28 was first introduced during the CES2008, and now, it is available at China mainland. The 2GB SA28 is sale for RMB399 (approx US$57) with built-in FM tuner.
Fullsound is a digital audio algorithm patented by Philips that refines audio output by performing 10 million operations per second to analyze and re-compute the music signal before it is sent to the speaker. This means that FullSound brings out the best of any audio system and delivers more life to the music.

Motorola m25
I’m sure you probably more familiar with Motorola cellphones, but what about its MP3 player? I personally don’t know anything about it until I read a review on Motorola m25 by sagapodk of iMP3.
Probably, you may find that this m25 looks familiar. You are right, the m25 is made by Rio. Even the bundled software is also powered by Rio! Thus, the quality is also backed by Rio 
Well, let see what is inside in it!
SigmaTel has filed a lawsuit against the Korean based semiconductor company, Telechips. This lawsuit alleges that Telechips is infringing three SigmaTel patents.
The company has been successful in protecting its intellectual property in the past and continues to amass ammunition for that fight,” said Ron Edgerton, CEO and president of SigmaTel. “SigmaTel used two patents against Actions and is using three different ones against Telechips. Two of the three patents in the Telechips lawsuit issued in February 2006, and these are just the tip of the iceberg. We anticipate having up to another 100 MP3 related patents issuing over the foreseeable future. These patents will cover the semiconductor content and system architecture of MP3 players and similar devices.
Could the resignation of Actions Semiconductor’s founder, Zhao Guang Min relates to lawsuit with SigmaTel?
SigmaTel announced on last week that it had acquired the Direct Digital Amplification (DDX) technology, design team and intellectual property from Apogee Technology. DDX technology is a high efficiency, Class-D digital amplifier technology that provides a solution to convert digital audio directly into power without being processed by a DAC (digital to analog conversion) chip.
SigmaTel plans to integrate the techonology into current and future System-on-Chip (SOC) solutions. With this, we may foresee SigmaTel to produce solutions in smaller form factors, longer battery life, and lower bill of material (BOM) costs to consumer electronics manufacturers.
SigmaTel continues to look at opportunities to diversify its business and integrate greater functionality into its product family allowing our customers to offer products they couldn’t deliver before at a lower cost,” said Ron Edgerton, SigmaTel’s president and CEO. “The acquisition of the DDX technology allows SigmaTel to offer its customers a more powerful and robust high definition audio solution that can be designed into future consumer audio products.
