Tsinghua Tongfang PMP looks quite sporty (with Hi Res TV Out)

April 29, 2008 by Raz in PMP with 13 Comments.

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 - 720x576. If the above image is real, then the video out quality is pretty darn impressive. Discuss on our forums More pictures and the translated article

JXD 308 – WinCE/Windtouch player

April 29, 2008 by Raz in JXD, PMP with 5 Comments.

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. Discuss on our forums

RAmos hit back at Onda with 4.3″ super player

April 14, 2008 by maderin1 in PMP, Ramos with No Comments.

Ondas recent release of the VX767, 4.3" TV-OUT wonder players has obviously got RAmos in a bit of a corner. So in what appears to be desperation to get something out and on view their art team have been at it agin and mocked up this player: This is the V8 Yep, the V8 is basically the RAmos offering to go head to head with the new onda player. All specs are just rumour at the moment but are as follows: Use of RK2706 Rockchip chipset, as in previous models 4.3" screen Possible touch screen Possible camera TV-Out functions These specs and the images are all just speculation, so we wll see how this progresses Discuss on the forums 

KNC – Slim player hits the spot

April 11, 2008 by maderin1 in PMP with No Comments.

I have been seeing this around for a while now and i thought i would post it as it looks like a really nice player. Introducing the KNC M-701: As you can see, it bucks the current trend at the moment as it does not have a screen that fille the whoe player, but i like the layout, the buttons and the fact that its 6.5mm thick (.. or thin!!) It uses current flavor of the month, RK2706 from rockchip so ll the standard features are there, RMVB, AVI, PlayFX etc. Original source 

Teclast release another uninspiring player : C300

April 11, 2008 by maderin1 in PMP with No Comments.

Yes Teclast, once the darlings of the PMP world with their touchy feely C260 and 280 players (we shall ignore the C290 shall we) have released a rather dull and uninspiring player to their expanding Rockchip RK2706 range Introducing the C300: so, are we impressed or are you like me and thinking ... WHY??? I know this sounds a bit harsh but it seems such a waste of time and resources to be putting out this player now when they already have the M30 and the M25 on the shelf. I think this may be another C290 and will sit, ignored on the shelf waiting for some charitable sole to but it. So the only thing going for it is that it is thin, no SD slot and all the features that the RK2706 offers that i wont go into again!!! Source

D’Cube D9 Hits the Spot

April 9, 2008 by Raz in PMP with No Comments.

If the pretty D7 and D5 PMP’s from D’Cube didn’t appeal to you, the new D9 will. There’s something about the looks of the D9 that says it’s a good accessory to have in your car, home and even purse. It has a 3.5-inch 260,000 color 320 × 240 resolution TFT screen and support for AVI, WMV, MP3, WMA, JPEG files. It’s 11.8mm slim and if you’re in Korea, you can tune in to free digital TV with the built-in T-DMB tuner. It is available in 2GB and 4GB versions, both with microSD memory expansion and kickstand. For the 4GB, it’s 128,000 won or $131. Via iMP3 Via PMP Today

New RAmos RM965 – brings a new look but little else

April 8, 2008 by Raz in PMP, Ramos with No Comments.

RAmos has announced that it will be introducing another new player to the market, it will use the Rockchip RK27o6 chipset, the same chip used in their very popular RAmos RM970 player. The RM965 will have a 2.8" WQVGA screen with a 400x240 screen resolution. Apart from the slight screen size and body design difference to that of the RM970, the RM965 doesn't really seem to add anything, unlike the RM935 however do expect the RM965 to be slightly cheaper than the RM970 when it does come out, which will be sometime towards the end of April.
