Ask Engadget: best media display / internet viewer for bedside?

We know you’ve got questions, and if you’re brave enough to ask the world for answers, here’s the outlet to do so. This week’s Ask Engadget question is coming to us from Jon, who just needs something to give him loads of glanceable information moments before he drifts off into the land of fairies, unicorns and deep-friend cotton candy. If you’re looking to send in an inquiry of your own, drop us a line at ask [at] engadget [dawt] com.

“I’ve been trying to buy a new alarm clock lately and am completely appalled at the selection available online or elsewhere. Most are basically docks for your iPod / PMP and have a pre-turn of the century LCD digital clock display and some shoddy speakers. They also range in price from $40 to $200. After seeing things like the Sony Dash and the new Insignia Infocast, I could see those as viable alarm clock solutions (with weather, music, maybe an RSS feed). Are there other items out there that have a great display that you can dim and would be able to serve this purpose? Or or either of those the one to get?”

So, sweet-dreamers, what’ll it be? Do you have a Chumby-infused widget display on your own night stand? Go on, don’t be shy — help a brother out in comments below.

Concept: DIY Player Is A Modular Gadget

Do you think that devices that try to cram every possible feature into it tend to offer a messy solution? If you think that you should have a dedicated device for different situations, the DIY Player concept might be something that will be of interest to you. The device consists of a base display, and has various detachable modules to offer it additional features. Plug in a keypad to turn it into a mobile phone, a media controller to turn it into a PMP, along with other possibilities such as a GPS device, alarm clock, eBook reader, portable hard disk, and camera. Would you be willing to deal with so many additional peripherals for just one device?

Yepp, Samsung’s working on another PMP — but this one’s a four-inch Android with AMOLED

Samsung’s interstellar voyage with Android has just begun, it seems — after a host of smartphones and a freshly announced tablet, it looks like the OS will cameo in a new Yepp PMP. The YP-MB2 was recently spotted in the databases of the Bluetooth SIG, where it’s described as “a multi functional Mobile Internet Device” with GPS, Wi-Fi, TouchWiz 3.0 and a huge four-inch AMOLED touchscreen. Digging deeper into the technical documents, we can see it’s got Android as well — oh, and Bluetooth, of course. As the geographic availability section reads “Asia” and the unit’s “MB” designation typically means South Korea’s T-DMB, we don’t expect to ever see it stateside, but when the device surfaces next you can probably expect it to look like a larger one of these.
