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 [...]

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 [...]

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 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, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]
