The Cydle P29A is a multimedia player that also integrates subscription-free Mobile DTV and an HD Radio tuner.

The P29 will display video on its 2.9″ touchscreen. Its processor is an ARM9 CPU and it is expected to be available in 4GB and 8GB versions when it is released in the Spring.

Cydle is looking to sell these things for $199. The P29 has an accelerometer to allow you to re-orient for landscape viewing, and the 480 MHz processor runs on something called the Nucleus OS. It has stereo Bluetooth, so you’ll be able to set this thing up in your car and control it with your mobile phone.

Altec Lansing iM414v2 for Zune HD

However, there is some good news; I just got a hold of the Altec Lansing inMotion IM414V2 portable speakers, and was pleasantly surprised. Altec is certainly no newcomer to Zune products, with the M604 , and iM414v1 previously released and it’s evident in the quality of the iM414v2.
