Dec Releases I50 – Meizu M3 Clone

March 31, 2008 by Raz in PMP with 2 Comments.

DEC release their latest MP3/MP4 player with a design very similar to that of the Meizu M3 Music card, DEC isn't the first to clone the M3 design, Newman also has one (but has not been released). The I50 seems to use the RK2608A chipset, with AVI, WMA, APE, FLAC and AVI file support, it also uses a tactile strip for navigation, a 1.46 TFT LCD screen and whats most impressive is its thin waist line - only 7mm thick. Doubtful if this will ever make it to our store, but it does look like a nice little player. Discuss on our forums

NEW Teclast M26 – touch screen, RK2706 TV-out

March 21, 2008 by maderin1 in Hardware News, Teclast with No Comments.

 TECLAST M26 New Teclast M26 with touch screen and tv-out, with 2.6" touch screen (though images below appear bigger???) Nice looking interface, hope it looks like that when its done Available in black and white versions and uses the RK2706 and may use the same AMOLED screen as the M30, i would forget the m30 and go straight to this. Do not know if mp4nation are still of the same opinion about Teclast player but it may be worth a look when it comes out NO RELEASE DATE AS YET but as ever treat this with a pinch of salt, many of these announcements show incorrect details and a mocked up user interface, so watch this space for what this player can really do and what it will really look like discuss on the forums  Original Link 

Onda VX757 Video Review (woohoo first in the world!!)

March 19, 2008 by FEG in Onda, Video Review with 4 Comments.

So here is our exclusive review of the unreleased Onda VX757, i would have done it sooner, if i had the time. First on the net, even before the Chinese sites, to have this video review, its pretty snazzy looking player, but definitely taking its looks from the RM970 and IPT. It does use the JZ4732 chipset and it has the same standard layout and capabilities as other JZ4732 players.

Video Out to be standard on new RK27XX players

March 17, 2008 by Raz in Hardware News with No Comments.

Video out isn't anything new to be seen on MP4 players, but till now the video output quality has never been anything impressive. One of the capabilities of the RK2706 chip is for TV out, but right now there aren't any players on the market that utilize this feature. However this is about to change, two new players that use the RK2706 chip are confirmed to have TV out, Oppos S11 (touch screen) and RAmos RM935. It seems that Oppo and RAmos are trying to wow people by stating the player will be able to support high resolution output, but from experience, i will wait till i get one of these players in hand before i comment on how good the TV-Out video quality will be. If the TV out does meet the hype, then these MP4's will have even more functionality, so lets hope Rockchip has done a good

Meizu M8 User Interface Tweaked

March 17, 2008 by Raz in Meizu with No Comments.

The M8 is undergoing further changes once again. We understand from the photo above that the M8 user interface will make use of dialog boxes, those shaded areas you see on the screen. Here’s how Meizu CEO Jack Wong’s words when it is translated into English: We re-do the m8 the UI, some inside the icon function blocks also need to continue to further amendments, the following examples may not be the final version of the icon. 1, lock Machine Interface The time display in the first half Drive location at the lack of information when prompted column of information automatically disappear. Note: 1 / 2 “refused to read …” button words may not only served as a reminder m8 Below three mechanical bond at the function. Users can set up set up inside tips received SMS messages omitted

JXD join in the small widescreen media player race

March 16, 2008 by maderin1 in PMP with No Comments.

Now i know what you are all thinking, there is just not enough small, 3" widescreen players out there that can play RMVB - well lucky you, as JXD also thought the same a give us a wholly uninspiring player - the [b]306[/b] Yes that was sarcasm i am afraid but just deserved i think. JXD have now joined Onda, RAmos and a whole host of other smaller Chinese manufacturers in producing yet another 3" widescreen player that bears a remarkable resemblance to the RM970 design from RAmos. This is not a re-brand though as the case design is slightly different and so is the button layout at the top. But what is the same is the use of the Rockchip RK2706 (presumed as this player has PlayFX) so if this player uses the standard firmware from rockchip then it brings nothing to the table at all. But tim

RAmos RM935 with TV-OUT

March 14, 2008 by maderin1 in PMP with 1 Comment.

RAmos are hot on the heels with the success of the RM970 with this new player - the RM935. It has a 2.8" QVGA screen, and is based on the RK2706 chip like the RM970 was. There also seems to be a nice nav wheel as opposed to the horrific buttons found on the 970 and from what i can gather this is some form of touch sensitive mechanism, but this will need to be confirmed. Before this is release the firmware for the RK2706 seriously needs sorting out, the recent update to the 970 gave us video bookmarking but introduced a whole other raft of problems. RAmos recently have released several players and have received criticism for shoddy firmware and build quality (RM970) and complete lack of support (V80) - so can they claw back a little of their reputation or have they caused to much da

RAmos RM955 Touchscreen + Bluetooth

March 10, 2008 by Raz in Ramos with No Comments.

RAmos seems to have shown off a new player at CeBit (who knew they were even there), the RM955, based on the Sigmatel SMT36 chipset, is a touch screen MP4 player with built in bluetooth capability for wireless audio. The spec sheet at the Cebit, if you don't take into account the bluetooth, shows this player to be rather standard, 2.8" QVGA touch screen with a 240x320 resolution, AVI, MP3, WMA, JPEG and BMP file support and USB 2.0. The player will come in a 2GB and 4GB model, with expandable memory slot and is slated for an April release. RAmos has previously used the SMT36 chipset and bluetooth combination in their older V150 model and if that player is anything to go by, you can expect the RM955 to be pretty pricey.

More news on the up and coming Teclast M25 mp4 player This player now sports some form of rotating nav wheel - a break for Teclast who normally love their red touch buttons Interface is very ipod - but beware, this is obviously a mock up interface so do not be fooled, it may end up looking totally different Think it is using the Rockchip RK2706, like the M30 etc as well as the wolfson chip for audio Using a 2.4-inch QVGA resolution 260,000 color TFT screen, support RM, RMVB, AVI video format direct broadcast does not require any conversion Dual-core structure, add the British Wolfson WM8987 independent audio processor M25 supports MP3, WMA, WAV, APE, FLAC, OGG, AAC audio file format player, PlayFX sound Thickness of only 7.9 mm, making it more convenient to carry original source Di
