5 PMPs Under Rs 10,000
By: Shayne Rana   |   Jan 19, 2008

Philips GoGear SA6025 – Rs. 5,990 (2GB)


The GoGear SA6025 is another small and slim player that makes watching videos on the go very convenient. It has a 2.2 inch QVGA LCD, with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels and 65K colors. It’s equipped with plenty of features from JPEG viewing to (of course) listening to music. It’s available in a 2GB model but there's no provision for external memory. Nevertheless, the supplied converter cuts down the size of your video files, so you wouldn't face space issues.

iPod Nano Video – Rs. 6,000 (4GB), Rs. 8,000 (8GB)

As I’ve said before, I don’t think there’s any player list that can ignore the Apple iPod. In this case, the new Nano Video fits the bill. Although the display may be a bit small at 2.2 inches, the resolution of 240 x 320 pixels ensures great clarity. Supplement it with the Nike Plus Kit and it becomes a great tool for daily jogs and workouts. More than anything else, the iPod is noted for its superb music quality – and this Nano is no exception.

Hard Disk Players

I thought I ought to mention some of the hard disk based PMPs available, but there seem to be only two in our price bracket that come to mind offhand – the Creative Zen Vision:M 30GB that’s priced at around Rs 8,000 (green) and Rs 10,000 (black), and the iPod 80GB that also costs around Rs 10,000. Oddly though, it seems the 30GB version has been discontinued. No worries though; it offers 80GB of space at that price and it’s an iPod. Need I say more? We’ve even done a comparison of the two 30GB models.

So that concludes my list. Do remember that these products might not be available everywhere for the same prices, but rest assured it will be just a minor difference, give or take a couple of hundred rupees. But if there are any more players you’d like me to include here (or test), do let me know by leaving a comment or email me.

If you're looking for the Archos, it's not easy to find as it wasn't launched in India at all. However some of the older models are available in gray market area's like Hera Panna at Hajii Ali or Alfa's in Andheri. Who knows, you just might get lucky and get the 705 there too. Good luck on your quest.

Hi Shayne,
A month ago, i was searching for a PMP, which could play more video formats, and accidentally found about ARCHOS. ARCHOS 404 Camcorder is a PMP which can play more formats than ipod and comes with a camcorder. ( we use a phone with camera, why not PMP with camcorder ) . I think this costs less than 10000Rs.

Can you review ARCHOS products , and post your review.
Yuvaraj @ Jan 22, 2008

can i purchase from store

"More than anything else, the iPod is noted for its superb music quality. "

come on, every one know that there are better sounding players. this is pure hype and brand recognition.
niranjan hopper @ Jan 21, 2008

kambi @ Jan 21, 2008
where do we get the Creatives at that Price in Pune?
Jb @ Jan 21, 2008
Ha Ha ,... and what about ARCHOS 605, 705 series players .. those have got best video resolutions ......
Navneet Priya @ Jan 21, 2008
Agree with Durgesh. It is no brainer actually...PSP scores over everyone mentioned in this article.
Deepak @ Jan 21, 2008
i think the iPod Classic at 80gigs with video playback, which also can be used as a portable hard drive is the best money can buy at 10k. why look at anything else ? once paired with a decent pair of canal headphones (like the excellent and very VFM creative 690's) there is not much anything that can compare , and they also have games, an address book and of course podcasts and a zillion add on's and 3rd party hardware/software ...
dennis @ Jan 19, 2008
no PSP????!!!!
LOL
durgesh @ Jan 19, 2008
I thing the ommission of sony A800 series players in this comparo is not justified. it is one of the top notch sounding players right out of the box with its ex-monitor series headphones... just hear it to believe it... better than a nano... also D2 should have been included...
zubin @ Jan 19, 2008
I think the Microsoft Zune (2nd Gen) is also a nice choice as it is being regarded better than ipod classic....(but i dont think its available in India).It costs the same as Classic Rs 10,000.
Tushar @ Jan 19, 2008
lol no cowon d2
hell @ Jan 19, 2008
Hey if these costs really apply where can i buy any one of the players in hyderabad.
NOte: with all papers and warantee.
