The new Yampp-beast has arrived
Yesterday I received my yamppod, the latest creation by Jesper Hansen. It’s a small fully customizable mp3-player with flash storage that he has developed. It has an Atmel AT91SAM7S128 (ARM-7TDMI 32-bit CPU) with 128KB flash memory and 32KB RAM. The mp3 decoder is a VS1033 decoder from VLSI which supports MP3, WMA, AAC & WAV. The display is a 1.6″ Color LCD capable of 131*131 pixels and 4096 colors. The flash memory is a T-Flash (Micro-SD) card which means that you can currently have up to 2GB storage. Songs will be possible to transfer via USB2 (Full speed ~12MB/sec) but that is not yet implemented. The battery is a 650 mAh Li-Ion polymer cell that should give you ~8 hours playtime and is charged through the USB cable. It’s available in 5 different colors of anodized aluminum, you can see pictures of the housings here.
Oh, did I mention that the software is open-source? :-)
I was supposed to show a picture of my yamppod here but i’m having some problems uploading it so it will be here later…
Update: Here is the first picture of my new yamppod.
