Multimedia, AV Geeks.com were very generous sending us over their SupportPlus SP-PMP51C (aka Sorell SV-10) portable media player for a review. This PMP is unique because among extended media features (20GB, A/V playback/rec, line-in, fm radio/rec, voice rec, text viewer, OGG support, lots of accessories) it also includes a 1.3MP swivel camera (with VGA video recording) selling at the fair price of $199 (use the promo code "GEEKPLUS" to buy the item for just $149).

If the screen is truly 320x240 - they should probably change their advertisements to specify this. It clearly states on that link above and in the product specs that it has a "Huge 3.5-inch LCD display with 640 x 480 resolution"

This is a fairly significant overstatement IMO.

This is what SupportPlus writes in their product pages and flyers too, but it's obviously a QVGA one. Geeks and any other retailer simply use the information the OEM gave them.

I can even count pixels on the screen, while on my x50v VGA PDA (3.7") it is smooth. Sorell doesn't say anything, they just say: 3.5" screen. This is obviously a QVGA screen, it's just like all my other QVGA PDAs at the same screen size. Same kind of screen in terms of density.

Are you really sure?

http://osnews.com/img/16160/sv1.jpg looks like it isn't doable in 320x240 at all.


Could you post a sharp picture of the whole screen please?
