 Commodore International Corporation is going strong in the European region with the release of their multi media entertainment platform CommodoreWorld and a series of Wi-Fi enabled media players (Gravel). CommodoreWorld is basically an online media environment providing a reservoir of entertainment content which can be accessed on demand only via their new range of Gravel Wi-Fi enabled media players (be it at home or on the road).

 In their hand-held Gravel series range, the Gravel In Pocket model is their newest entry will be launched soon. Basically a mini PMP with a 2.8-inch QVGA TFT screen supporting MP3, WAV, WMA, JPEG, BMP, GIF, PNG, MPEG2, MPEG4, DivX and XviD media playback. Comes with Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/ support, 1GB or 2GB of internal flash storage and an SD/MMC card slot to extend storage capacity.

 Its dimensions are a handy 84 x 72 x 17 (W x H x D) and is extremely light.

 What's unique to this PMP that we've not encountered from other rivals is its unique GUI and rear joystick for single-handed navigation. Might take a little getting used to, but its really neat. There's practically no other buttons (apart from the CommodoreWorld direct-connect) to control this little player.

 Here's yet another view.

 This is the Gravel Personal full-fledged PMP player with a 4-inch widescreen TFT screen, speakers, microphone, 2MP camera integrated to it rear and has 2 to 4 GB of internal storage. This was already launched a little earlier to the market.

 Over at their extreme gaming booth, they had this realistic racing simulator on display.
