Well i did upload this video last week, but totally forgot to announce it. The RAmos T12, which uses the RK2806 media chip is quite a good player, although the UI is slightly different from what we have been accustomed to its still has the feel of a RK2706 player but with a lot better video playback. This is so far the only player i have got MKV file to work on, although the video playback isn't smooth, however AVI and RMVB files play very well. The small scroll wheel could have been designed better, it feels like something off a old radio, a very thin and rough wheel, that doesn't feel comfortable on the finger. The scroll wheel does interact well with the UI, it even allows for a bit of dynamic scrolling for music. Overall a very good player, good for video and audio playback, the RA

...I have BlockBerry,” reads the slogan for this Blackberry Storm 9500 clone, the Haff-Comm BlockBerry 9500. It's a novel and pretty funny tact but not sure using cut out pictures of politicians will hold our attention as much as when they get their gadgets babed out. As well as a striking resemblance to its clone daddy, the 'BlockBerry' is based on Huawei K3, runs Windows Mobile 6.1 with a 460MHZ processor and has a 3.2-inch touchscreen, WIFI, Bluetooth, GPS and supports 3G and EDGE networks.

No-name game machines are not usually the most exciting things but the Chinese Venus JXD300's PSP-stylings, GBA & NES compatibility and impressive video capabilities make it a little more noteworthy. The JXD300 has a 3-inch screen and supports RMVB, RM, AVI, VOB, DAT, MPG and FLV at resolutions up to 1280 x 720. Also onboard is a TV-OUT, a 2 megapixel camera, FM radio, digital recording (4G – up to 200 hours), MP3, WMA, APE, FLAC and more audio supported, e-book reader and a customisable interface among much more. There's no price information but with this piece of kit you could flick between a NES emulation of Super Mario and the Mario movie with ease. Ok, maybe the PSP GO's just got the edge on this one...
