Well, this year they&#8217;re back at it again &#8212; this time pimping the MP837, which really deserves more than a one digit jump. We&#8217;re glad to report that they&#8217;ve made quite a bit of progress over the year, and that they&#8217;ve addressed many of the problems from the first one. It has a 3-inch touchscreen with haptic feedback, and it actually registered input this time (though we couldn&#8217;t confirm that it&#8217;s capacitive). The software was also a lot more polished, as was the demo we got from a PR rep on the floor.
