Teclast™ M26 : La Review !

micka — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 07:24:48 +0000

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54FD7lvjATo The PMP than every bargain hunter has been swooning over has finally been videoed. The Teclast M26 is as sleek as we hoped it would be though the firmware isn’t quite ready yet. The 2.6-inch resistive touch screen isn’t as sensitive as more expensive players with capacitive touch screen, but the Wolfson chip gives music [...]

Teclast™ M26

micka — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 06:05:51 +0000

It’s finally officially available. You can call the M26 from Teclast an iPod Touch clone or wannabe, this baby is cheap for 499 yuan or only 73 of your American dollars you got a 2.6-inch touchscreen, thin form factor and support for RMVB (supporting ultra-format DVD-D1 (720 x 480 pixels), and AVI (800 x 480) [...]

Ainol™ V3000

micka — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 14:00:49 +0000

MP4nation is right on, calling the Ainol V3000 a killer PMP. If Ainol won’t change its mind about the specs (some Chinese manufacturers do), we’ll have a PMP that can kick all other PMPs out the window, including the RAmos T8 with the same-size screen. You see, Ainol is not merely offering a big 4.3-inch screen, [...]

Aigo™ A5 Patriot

micka — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 04:45:42 +0000

While we were a little dubious about the Patriot A6’s iPod Nano second-gen form factor as a clip-on player, we are in total agreement to the a5’s aesthetic sensibility. No more hook on the backside, just a nice white coat of paint and the Aigo branding. No disappearing screen though like the a6 but the [...]

Newsmy™ MOMO M-Touch

micka — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 06:45:41 +0000

Not sure if Newman intended the M-Touch for rugged environments but that’s what the impression it gives me. It runs on Windows CE 6.0, an OS that we haven’t seen in a while. Officially it has a 2.8-inch QVGA touchscreen, 1.3 megapixel camera, plays AVI/ASF/MPG/3GP/MP4/FLV and MP3/WMA/ACC/WAV/OGG. With games, TXT and photo support. Photo indicates [...]

Teclast™ M26 : La vraie photo !

micka — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 08:00:37 +0000

The M26 from Taipower is as anticipated as any Chinese PMP could be. Nice form factor, plays MP3, Wma, FLAC and APE file and Avi, FLV and RMVB and with TV out. Pretty good UI as well. Hope this comes out soon at one of the online retailers that we know about at a very Chinesy [...]

Newman™ MOMO Beetle

micka — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 05:45:00 +0000

Newman may have intended to design the cutest clip-on MP3 player. What they have for us instead - and they are not ashamed to admit - is a “UFO-shaped” design. The MOMO-Beetle is no ordinary odd-looking Chinese DAP, though. It plays music for 70 hours or more and has a stand-by time of 3 days, [...]

RAmos™ MUMU iShine Q18

micka — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 07:30:19 +0000

The Q18 from RAmos’ Mumu Music line of PMPs is thin (7.7mm) with very finished looks that you don’t usually see in Chinese PMPs. It also comes in bold colors that is very appealing to the eyes: black, red, white and baby blue. The dynamic Flash GUI we haven’t seen but the manufacturers thinks highly [...]

TMSON™ B300

micka — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 06:29:47 +0000

TMSON’s B300 is one of very few Chinese PMPs I’ve seen this year that is worth importing to the West. Features-wise, it’s just your basic PMP, but even China has neglected the two-inchers lately. The B300 comes in black and white in a minimalistic industrial design that reminds us of at least couple of iRiver [...]

Aigo™ E819

micka — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 06:57:42 +0000

Ever seen a square PMP? Ever expected one to be made? Me neither, but Aigo begs to differ as it introduces the square-ish Patriot E819 MP5 player. The 2.8-inch LTPS screen is supposed to have 4:4 aspect ratio, though h0nest to God it looks to me like 4:4. It’s one of the more heavy flash [...]

Teclast™ X11

micka — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 08:09:22 +0000

If you’re heart is pounding looking at Taipower’s lightweight X11 MP3, I don’t blame you. She’s hot. There are a couple more photos in different positions after the break. The X11 weighs all of 20 grams, plays MP3, WMA and APE, FLAC lossless. It comes with a two-color OLED display and 5 EQ customization. Only [...]

DeLUX™ DLA-812A

micka — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 08:00:55 +0000

We don’t know exactly what Colorful Technology means by “gold-plated technology” but we take it that the DeLUX DLA-812A is a fashion PMP, a rarity in China as well as anywhere in the world. The shiny metal-casted front and touch buttons are very good indicators indeed that the DLA-812A is not for the bargain hunter. [...]

Newman™ Newsmy F4

micka — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 08:00:13 +0000

The Newsmy F4 MP4 player is not an MP4 Player at all but an MP6 player. Still, technically a PMP (portable media player), the F4 plays RM/ RMVB directly and has a 1.3 megapixel camera built, sort of like the new Venus JXD releases we featured yesterday. Like one of the Venus JXD players, [...]

JXD™ JXD951

micka — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 08:00:51 +0000

Venus is promoting five cheap PMPs, some with very large screens and cameras added. The JXD951 has a 4-inch 16:10 LTPS screen and a 2 megapixel camera and 4GB of storage. You can take it home for only 599 yuan ($87). It supports Divx, Xvid and AVI at 720 × 480 pixels as well as ASF [...]

Newman™ NUNU Supercard

micka — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 07:30:37 +0000

The Supercard is supposedly the most popular MP4 player in China. It’s a very slim player at only 6.5mm with a 2.4-inch QVGA TFT screen. It plays RM, RMVB, AVI without conversion nd MP3, WMA and APE, FLAC Lossless . PlayFX for enhanced 3D audio experience and FM with FM recording as well. It’s also [...]

RAmos™ T8 iMovie

micka — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 11:00:56 +0000

We’ve had doubters when we posted about RAmos’s latest wide- touchscreen PMP, the T8 PMP, may people thought it was just an altered iPod photo. The T8, though, is definitely real and RAmos may have started production already of this 4.3-inch player. Besides the rendered photo above, they have thrown in some initial specs as [...]

RAmos™ V8

micka — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 10:11:45 +0000

We’ve been pretty excited about an upcoming player from RAmos. Wouldn’t you be excited when you read that possible specs include a 4.3-inch touch screen, WiFi and even Net radio. But it turns out the V8 is a more typical RAmos PMP than we had expected: 3-inch screen, 4GB storage with a Rockchip processor and [...]

WINDOW™ G30

micka — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 08:54:41 +0000

WINDOW’s G30 PMP is a 2.8-inch player. It fits in your pocket, plays RMVB, AVI, FLV and Lossless audio files. Our source article also mentions the rather brick-like form factor of the G30 is comparable to old iPod models. I beg to differ. Though the G30 can be quite thin from some angles, it does [...]

Mumu™ iCan Q16

micka — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 07:30:44 +0000

Let’s face it, Apple will never go back to the second-gen Nano design, but if you’re really missing the slim form factor of Apple’s most popular player, there are a lot of Chinese alternatives to choose. The latest of these class of Nano clones is the Mumu’s iCan Q16. The Q16 doesn’t only bring you [...]

Newman™ COOL MAN

micka — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 06:00:45 +0000

Had any doubts that Samsung’s S2 “Pebble” player has any chance against the iPhod Shuffle? Newman’s COOL MAN may put the question to rest, because once a PMP get its Chinese clone there’s no stopping it taking over the world. And if you’ve got many clones, then, well, you’re the Jesus Phone. Perhaps the most interesting [...]

Pasen™ F11

micka — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 18:26:00 +0000

Besides the F13, Pasen has also released (virtually unnoticed) the Pasen F12 (see it here) and now has introduced another MP4/ PMP: the Pasen F11. The F11 is a more interesting player in terms of design. The tactile buttons are small and subtle, distributed unobtrusively along the bottom of the 2.8-inch 400 × 240-pixel screen. [...]

Maxspeed™ MAK003

micka — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 18:20:15 +0000

The 2.8-inch multitouch (!) MAK003 from Maxspeed Industry Development Limited glows threateningly from a peephole right where the iPhone clone Home should be. It plays RM/RMVB,FLV, AVI/ MPEG-4 and MP3, WMA, APE, FLAC, AAC and WAV. Dgital recording and a 3D equalizer (presumably via Microsoft PlayFX) is its other attributes. The writte specifications of the [...]

Aigo™ Patriot A6

micka — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 18:01:37 +0000

Have you always been wishing the iPod Shuffle can tune to FM radio? Well, I do and Aigo may have the right device for people who love random music while they are working out. The Patriot A6 is one stylish MP3 player, which, unlike, the Shuffle, is equipped with a screen and an FM tuner. [...]

RAmos™ T8

micka — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 18:00:34 +0000

RAmos may have done it again - astonish us with yet another iPod Touch-like device. The Blue Magic T8 PMP looks good with its 4.3-inch touch screen taking most of the front. It’s only 10mm thick - thin for a 4.3-inch player. We don’t know much yet about the T8 but expect an Fm [...]

Onda™ VX989 : Il supporte désormais les jeux FC !

micka — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 16:58:18 +0000

The popular VX989 from Onda has been hacked to support FC games. This is great news. The VX989 is just about the most popular Onda player out there. It has even been adopted by Pasen into LAZYBUM - that’s how popular it is. It looks like a simple DIY upgrade (w/ overclocking) but because the [...]

Onda™ VX777 : Quelques rumeurs

micka — Mon, 26 May 2008 18:30:38 +0000

Onda may have leaked more information on their upcoming VX777. The existence of VX777 is confirmed; it’s the features that we are interested about plus a sex scandal or two thrown in. Still nothing official about the Net radio but WiFi and even a camera is very likely. The 4.3-inch touch screen seems official and [...]

Encore une nouvelle interface pour le Meizu™ M8 !

micka — Mon, 26 May 2008 18:29:12 +0000

Voici le retour de la revanche de notre bien fugace Jack Wong (le patron de Meizu™ pour ceux qui ne le connaitraient pas encore !) qui annonce une nouvelle nouvelle (nouvelle ?) interface pour le M8. Elle est développé par Eico Design, des gens bien sous tout rapports ayant déjà collaboré avec Lenovo, Google et [...]

DEC™ I200 Hip-Hop

micka — Mon, 26 May 2008 17:00:54 +0000

We thought we’d never see another new portable media player with an analog display but here it is and it comes straight from China - where else. The I200 is only 6.5mm thin and supports MP3, WMA, WAV and FLAC, APE lossless. It has a mic, which can be used to record audio and works [...]

Yoto™ M400

micka — Thu, 22 May 2008 16:00:50 +0000

We’ve seen the Yoto M300 and were impressed by how closely it resembles the iPhone face front. Its successor, will be even closer to the iPhone in looks coming with with a more compact and slimmer design (see a comparison photo after the break). Well, you’ll have to take Yuantong’s word for it. The M400 adds [...]

Chuwi™ dévoile son futur PMP !

micka — Wed, 21 May 2008 11:00:27 +0000

There’s no fixed date yet, but Chinese manufacturer Chuwi plans to release touchscreen PMPs that may revolutionize both touchscreens and players. As we all know, there are two types of touchscreens: capacitive and resistive, duh. Capacitive is better and offers more sensitivity but they are oh-so pricey. Chui has a different solution: Dual cover technology applications [...]

UStar™ RM660

micka — Wed, 21 May 2008 10:00:12 +0000

You Star (Ustar) will not clone iPod, it seems to say, but instead make a better PMP. Too bad the RM660 looks like the runty cousin of the iPod Touch instead of being an improvement to the Apple device. Otherwise we’d be completely happy with the 399 yuan $57 price tag and the ambiguously [...]

Teclast™ T50 : La review

micka — Wed, 21 May 2008 09:00:43 +0000

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqlRmM-zuEM We told you iPod Touch should fear Teclast’s multitouch T50 and it is put in the hands of the MP4 Nation team to give us a pretty comprehensive preview of what Teclast exactly mean by multitouch. To cut a long story short, the T50 UI does support multi-gesture and more. Too bad the software isn’t [...]

Zarva™ ZIPPO MP320

micka — Fri, 16 May 2008 18:00:45 +0000

The MP320 MP3 player may look too much like a novelty gadget to many people, but this is one novelty device that I can get behind. It’s officially the ZARVA ZIPPO MP320, and we will gladly assume that Zippo, the lighter manufacturer, is an official partner in this. The ZIPPO MP3 player has a small [...]

Apple™ contre attaque ! La guerre des clones !

micka — Wed, 14 May 2008 14:00:26 +0000

Apple has had it with the HiPhone, the most successful iPhone clone out of China and they have given notice to a European distributor of HiPhone-branded iPhone clones. The possible penalty for distributing HiPhones is stated as 25,000 Euros, which is quite hefty for a HiPhone retailer (yeah, we’ve asked one such retailer). Not only [...]

Aigo™ MV5920

micka — Sat, 10 May 2008 13:45:28 +0000

They’re calling this a breakthrough device, a PMP with WiFi and supports mobile TV. But that’s not the breakthrough yet for this HD (up to 160GB) MP5 Player (a PMP in China that supports RealMedia). The MV5920, due to its dual-core technology no doubt, also supports video playback at HD 720p (1280 x 720 pixels), [...]

Newman™ M8000

micka — Sat, 10 May 2008 13:30:15 +0000

We likes the M8000 the first time we saw it but now we really, really like it. It’s an all-around HD PMP with a 4-inch TFT screen, lot of multimedia support, a camera, TV Out, game emulation, PVR functionality, etc. It also comes with 80GB of hard disk space, which is all I really need [...]

Onda™ VX777

micka — Sat, 10 May 2008 13:00:49 +0000

The VX777 is Onda’s best PMP so far feature-wise. In what seems like a features overdose of sorts, Onda, which is known for its widescreen PMPs, has gone ballistic and automatically nominated itself to the high-end market populated by the likes of Archos and Zune. The 4.3-inch (480 x 272) touchscreen is on of the [...]

Fillwinn™ FW8800

micka — Mon, 05 May 2008 17:13:14 +0000

It looks like the FW8800 is one iPhone knockoff that isn’t too impressed with Steve Jobs’ first phone and went to add the missing ingredient. While Fillwinn Enterprise Holdings International Ltd. has retained the iPhone’s famous multi-touch user interface and other features like the 3.5-inch 320×480 pixel 160 ppi screen, 2.0 megapixel camera, WiFi, Bluetooth [...]

Cooper™ Amber F1

micka — Mon, 05 May 2008 06:24:29 +0000

The Amber F1 looks like a fancy lighter at the back but boasts a 2.8-inch movie-playing screen in front framed with the most desirable metal in the world. Whatever Cooper, a manufacturer we’ve never heard of before, is thinking when it decided to launch this gilded media player, we are doubly impressed that the [...]

Yuantong™ Yoto M300

micka — Sun, 04 May 2008 20:25:44 +0000

Yuantong, known to us as Yoto, has launched the M300, an iPod Touch wannabe that boasts a RK27XX and support for AVI, DIVX, MPEG4, RM, XVID, RMVB, FLV, MP3, WMA, FLAC, APE, JPG, GIF, and BMP, which is kind of awesome, especially when it supports games as well. The 3-inch screen has WQVGA (400 [...]

Tsinghua Tongfang™ PMC-M880

micka — Sun, 04 May 2008 19:00:19 +0000

The Chinese company Tsinghua Tongfang has announced a new PMP that supports TV out at 720 × 576-pixel resolution. This is very good quality TV out resolution for a PMP. The PMC-M880, on its own, has a 3 inches of viewing space with 400 x 240 pixels. You might find that the M880, like [...]

Ainol™ U80SE

micka — Sun, 04 May 2008 18:00:35 +0000

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SLIfnLCE30 The Toshiba Gigabeat doppelganger, U80SE from Ainol has just been unboxed at AllPMP. It’s a mighty thin PMP and the cross buttons seem to work intuitively enough, from the video. It plays RM, RMVB, AVI, FLV, DAT, ASF, MP4, WMV, 3GP, MPG. [via allpmp]

Fin du relais de la torche des JO de Beijing à Sanya

Chine Informations — Sun, 04 May 2008 13:10:08 +0000

Le relais de la torche des Jeux olympiques de Beijing à Sanya dans le sud de la Chine a pris fin sur le site de Tianyahaijiao dimanche.

Jackie Chan, star populaire et Pu Huifang, chef d'un petit bourg de Sanya, qui couraient en tant que derniers porteurs de la torche, ont allumé le chaudron de la flamme à 17H56.

Teclast™ T50 : Les photos « Open The Box »

OMG! Does the Teclast T50 touch screen support multi-gesture? It sure looks like it. A user at a Chinese forum just posted his unboxing photos of a newly bought Teclast T50 and in one of the pic we could see him resizing a photo using two fingers: pinch fingers to zoom out, split them to [...]

Arrivée à Macao de la flamme olympique

Teclast™ C300

micka — Sat, 03 May 2008 06:07:31 +0000

Teclast may never get over their Chocolate obsession. To tell the truth, the C300 doesn’t look that much different from the earlier Teclast M30. In fact the C300 is described by Teclast as “a classic 2.8-inch screen 4:3 ratio of the Real players.” After two years of cloning the LG Chocolate phone by hundreds of [...]
