Well this just had to be shouted out as on the mp4nation forum there have been efforts to get external applications to load on these two player .. well, it been done, with hard work and a great community effort there is finally a solution to make these players accept externall games and application

For those who do not know, the Ramos v80 and the newman M-Touch are protable media players in which their operating system is based on an embeded version of the Microsoft Windows CE platform. Now this was heavilty locked down, with no active sync connestion ahd thus no way to load external applications. Also remember that the momo m-touch player is extremely cheap, so you are getting a great deal here for winCE based device.

Well, without going into detail, there has been a major breakthrough and many members are now loading extra games and apps to this little player, how far and what can be loaded is all still to be fully determined, but take a look at the images below as evidence.

Check over on the forum to see the development and a list of FREE (yes free games and aps only) for use with your player

Also a big shout out goes to all involved in getting this to work, great work and well done

Teclast seem to be playing catch up with the likes of Onda and Ramos at the moment and are releasing another new MP4 player.

Introducing the M23

Another wheel based player with a Rockchip RK2706 insid. This is the chip of choice for Teclast, persoanally i think its an underperformer but hey, who am i.

So all the standard rockchip features apply here, RMVB, AVI @ 30fps etc so nothing new there, but one wonders why another player and it seems Teclast still refuse to add SD card support to their players.

Oh, it has one trick up its sleeve - G-sensor support but no real info on what that means in terms of this player yet

The first pictures of the new RAmos V8 player are starting to emerge and it looks pretty sexy, only 7.8mm thick and a 4.3″ touch screen. Still no images of the UI, RAmos has said the UI will be quite different from that of the standard iPod Touch UIs that most Chinese MP4 touch screen players have been coming out with.

The article also states that the player will come with 16GB of internal memory, quite impressive.

Onda, famed nowadays as hard and fast ingenics chip users have decided to jump aboard the Rockchip wagon with a range of budget players.

Now this will get even more confusing as rather than release a new looking player they have decided yet again to rename and existing player - the VX979. Now they have already renamed this once when they changed from the older rockchip to the ingenics JZ series, and called it the VX979+. This new player has been creatively named the …. VX979LE .. da da, just to add more confusion.

We were informed of this particular player a few weeks ago, seems that Onda has officially given this player a model number, the Onda VX777. This will be one of the first Chinese MP4 players that will come with Wifi, but its unclear if the Wifi can be used for Internet browsing or just to get Internet radio, either way, its pretty cool.

The Onda VX777, currently, looks to have the same design and have all the same specs (apart from the wifi) as the Onda VX767, the VX777 will also come with a house 3000mAh battery, allowing for 30hrs of audio and 10hrs of video (and from my testing of the VX767, 17hrs+ of video out playback).

Below are the specs that have been forwarded, however i need to add, we were told before that this model would come with a touch screen, lets hope the final version does come with a touch screen interface.

Oh and don’t expect this player to be out till around August (but lets hope for a earlier release).

Tsinghua Tongfang is a company that normally makes nano clones, but has been making some nice players as of late, seems to be joining the ranks of RAmos and Onda, coming out with a TV-Out capable player.

PMC-M880 looks to use the new RK2706 chip, along with a 3.0″ screen (16:9). Whats most imprssive is that is support rather hi resolution video out - 720×576. If the above image is real, then the video out quality is pretty darn impressive.

Looks like that JXD is coming out with their own windtouch player, from the picture it seems to have a different interface than previously seen on windtouch players.

I wonder if this player will be sporting different games or apps than seen on previous wintouch players.

We were lucky enough to get a early sample of the VX767, what you see in the video review will be what the player will look like and function when it hits the market. This player should be out sometime by the end of April or start of May.
