Well i found this interesting video off this article, which had mistaken the video for a demo of the VX525, which if you watch our video of a VX525, you will see the two are quite different. The biggest difference in the new video is that the UI is to be used on a phone!
Although the UI basically differs from the VX525 UI by having two additional functons - text messaging and dialing, its still pretty impressive. What we can see from the video is that the UI is working on a fully working development board and that the phone feature actually seems to be working, so both the UI and the hardware (be it on a dev board) are functional.
The user interface is based on Adobe flash 7 and work on a run time environment developed by a Chinese company called WRTIME. WRTIME has been gaining q
Nationite member dibbles has kindly searched and posted several rather stunning themes for the Onda vx767 MP4 palyer.
These are from the ondabbs site and are, for want of a better word, excellent, see for yourself :-

Teclast M33
This is yet another new player to be released soon from Teclast.
Now the article i saw makes reference to Korea in the design of this player, but it is unknown if Teclast are actually working with the Korean manufacturers, as they did before on the T39 player that used the Telechips processor, or if it means that they are taking the design from the Koreans and copying it, because this players looks bare a remarkable resemblance to the Iriiver W7 media player
Processor and specs are not really known at the moment but the screen is a 3" touch screen and comes from Japan courtesy of Fujitsu, and is their new MVA screen technology, Teclast also used this screen in the recent non-touch release, the M31, RMVB, RM, FLV, AVI, WMV, DAT are listed as the movie formats and
Update: Seems like there is already a new firmware update which help to improve the processing speed of the chip, will confirm after i try it out.
To my surprise i received a sample of the new Onda VX525 player this morning, i spent most of the day playing around with it. On the whole, the player is very nice, its actually quite different from what we have seen from Onda and other MP4 players that have been coming out.
I really was surprised at the over quality of the touch screen, its not like the S:flo capacitive screen, but its definitely not like a resistive screen, its best comparable to the Newman M-Touch screen, quite sensitive and will allow for a lot of stuff. One down side is that it won't properly work if you use your entire finger, you have to use the tip of your finger, mu

I found this tid bit of information off iMP3, which was supplied to them by Onda. Seems that the entire UI will be based on Flash, ok thats nothing new, but it looks like a solid confirmation that they do mean Adobe Flash and not anything else. Also the player will utilize the WRTIME flash runtime engine, which is actually something we have seen before on player that many mistook for the M-touch (watch video), the same runtime was used in this Korean PMP not too long ago also.
Some other details from the PR Onda gave is that the player can have its UI customized and not just changing graphics, but also in how the actual UI works. Also the WRTIME engine will be handle a lot of flash based games, allowing you to download and play all those cheesy flash games.
iMP3 Article
Gemei have now joined in the 4.3" players battle with this little player
x900+
not too many details but expect to see the rockchip powering this player, other details currently known are:
4.3" high def screen from Sharp.
1.3 megapixels camera built in
remote control (similar to the v3000)
TV-OUT
FM transmitter and receiver
TTS (text to speech)
so maybe one more choice, but how will it fare, so far the 4.3" players from all the big guys have failed to fully impress, how will this one go??
