Here’s a slick little item you might be interested in, if your county of residence happens to subscribe to the DVB-T TV standard. Energy Sistem’s just unleashed its TV2090 PMP for the world to enjoy. This attractive yet seemingly quite cumbersome looker boasts a 9-inch LCD, a stereo speaker and AV output, and it supports DivX, Xvid, AVI, MPG and MP3 / WAV playback. Now like we said, the whole unit is rather large — measuring 265 x 32 x 155 mm — and while we don’t have an exact weight for it, we’d guess it to be… large enough to be pretty annoying. Regardless, if you’re in the market for a giant PMP, this one will be released in Europe in March for around €133 (or $187, if you’re keeping track).

Energy Sistem unloads TV2090 PMP, still can’t spell ’sisstem’ originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 20 Jan 2010 11:22:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

As much fun as it is seeing the RAmos W7 in the wild, all legit and everything, what’s more exciting is seeing that Android-specific 600MHz Rockchip CPU in action again. This time it appears to be handling some pretty snappy web browsing to some fairly hefty pages, and then diving into what looks to be Flash video in an externalized, overlain player of some kind. The Android Archos 5 does a similar thing for media playback, but it’s not plugged into the browser like this, and we really haven’t seen many devices attain these sorts of browser speeds at this resolution. Sure, there’s still plenty more OS to see, but it’s good to see both of these products making a bit of good on their promises. Check out the video after the break.

Ready to have your imperfect complexions scrutinized by every anonymous coward on the Internet? You’d better ’cause YouTube has announced the move from 720p to 1080p video streaming to make use of those cheap, Full HD camcorders flooding the market. Now puff up that keyboard courage — the ruthless bashing of your peers is set to begin next week.

Any time a company both enables our gadget addiction and discourages wanton battery consumption we have to consider it a good thing — and, indeed, Sanyo’s wicked-rechargeable Eneloop batteries already have quite a few fans here at Engadget HQ. But what’s a busy gadget hound to do on the go, you ask? Try this one on for size: the Eneloop Stick Booster ships with two AAs and can be used to charge them, via any USB source. From that point the device can be used to power your PMP for roughly 90 minutes. How great is that? To be released in Japan on December 1 for an unspecified price, and worldwide whenever the company sees fit. PR after the break.

We’ve had a soft spot for Polymer Vision in the fetid hollows of that place you call a heart ever since we pressed flesh to its Readius back in February 2008. Unfortunately, we had to let go of any hope for the bendy e-reader to ever hit the market after delays turned into bankruptcy turned into cries of noooo! the world over. Now coddled in the corporate arms of Wistron we hear from Brian Chong, head of Wistron’s product planning, that a 5-to-6 inch device with a pull-out flexible e-paper display of similar design to the Readius will launch in 2010. By similar design we hope they’ve included Bluetooth, dual-band HSDPA, tri-band GSM / EDGE, microSD expansion and SMS capabilities of the original.

Viewsonic was showing this one off way back in July alongside a slew of other gear, but it’s just now gotten fully official with its VPD400 MovieBook media player, which is apparently available right away for $129.99. That will get you a 4.3-inch 800 x 480 display, 8GB of internal memory, a micro SD card slot for more, an AV out port for some bigger screen viewing (not HDMI, it seems), and a promised 12 hours of battery life for audio and six for video — not to mention your choice of black, pink or white color options. Not too shabby, just don’t go expecting anything fancy like WiFI or a touchscreen.

Microsoft’s releasing a Wireless N Networking Adapter for the Xbox 360? Get out of town! … Oh, wait, we’ve seen it. Constantly. For the last two months. Ah well, let’s just all be happy to see it finally appear on US store shelves, putting an end to this sordid saga and supporting 802.11a/b/g/n for a copper Lincoln under $100. As Joystiq reports, the old 802.11b/g model is slowly being shown the curb, with the current stock being discounted at $80 while supplies last.

Update: Check it — GameStop has it listed right now in stock. Huzzah!

Candidly speaking, we can’t honestly envision too many of you fine folks running out and purchasing one of Creative’s new ZEN X-Fi2 portable media players given the availability of such robust alternatives. That said, we’d be remiss of our duties if we didn’t point out that the PMP which shocked us at IFA is now on sale directly from Creative. $129.99 buys you an 8GB model, while $179.99 nets you 16GB and $229.99 provides 32GB. We know — that 3-inch LCD and integrated FM tuner look good from afar, but remember kids, it’s all about the UI.

[Thanks, Tyler]

Just weeks after Palm’s Pre sunk to CAD $149.95 on Bell, the outfit’s first-ever webOS phone has now stooped to just CAD $99.95. That still requires a 3-year contract, of course, but man — a single bill for a smartphone like the Pre? Anyone tossing out guesses on how long it takes Sprint to follow suit (and embarrass the Pixi)?

[Thanks, David]
