Aigo's P706 photo and video viewer for photographers

by Thomas Ricker posted Nov 27th 2006 at 9:25AM

Looking every bit the competitor to Epson's P-5000 or Canon's M80 portable storage solutions for photogs, is this, Aigo's UH-P706. Instead of maxing out at 80GB like the others, Aigo slams up to 160GB of disk in their version of the video / picture viewer. They do however, skimp on the screen a bit at just 3.6-inches and 16 millions colors but then make a mends with support for RAW and TIFF, AVI and MPEG4, and slots for SD, MMC, Memory Stick, and CF card formats. Oddly, no audio codecs are listed in the press release, not even the ubiquitous MP3. For the moment, these are only available in Aigo's home country of China for about 9,977 Chinese yuan or a whopping $1,248.

The main purpose for this is for photographers, so why are they skimping on screen size and colours? Shot themselves in the foot.

I'm 90% sure this is a Vosonic 8360 rebrand, available w/o HD for ~$300.

I feel like Denzel Washington. Deja View. Didn't I see this before. Wolverine? Vosonic? What's the deal here? I mean come on. The price is almost as bad as PS3 markup especially when I own one and did not pay even half that. Also considering the hard drive is user replacable like a battery pack. Buy a 2.5 notebook HD and you just did a memory upgrade.

I comment on Wolverine's device before. Unless this is a stripped down copycat this baby has mad skills. Video (play & record), FM, mp3 player, etc. You can even pick this up in the NYC and avoid the slow boat from China.

This is just the Wolverine ESP or whatever. You can order it from Costco.com with 100 gigs for $350 right now.
