Two new installments to Toshiba’s Gigabeat V series were announced today. The V801 and V401 will contain 80GB and 40GB hard drives, respectively. Once again, a new color, Bordeaux Brown, is added to the line-up, but this time there are more modifications to get excited about.
The 3.5-inch QVGA TFT screen has been upgraded to a 4 incher and the 320 x 240 pixel resolution has been increased to 480×272. The players will feature a sensor that automatically alters the brightness of the screen to correspond to the surrounding light. The devices will also come with new H2C technology, which claims to compensate for sound quality lost during audio compression by using its own algorithm to counter the audio compression algorithms of WMA and MP3 files. The portable media players will be available in Japan on June 1st.
