The Meizu M9, quite possibly the most looked-forward to phone in the Chinese market, has ditched the Windows CE OS of the M8 and moved on to Android, to bigger and better things. The M9 is supposed to be coming in September but the folks over at the Meizu official forums have been extremely mum about it and not arisen to the bait, not fallen into the panic-trap, and are declaring these photos fake. Who knows? We'll all eventually find out.

The video doesn't exactly bare all of the RAmos W7 for you to see - it has to be admitted that the video only gives a very basic rundown of the player - but at least you get to see it in some action which is useful considering the internet buzz that the impending release and availability of the W7 has engendered. The one interesting feature is the display of the iBook-lookalike feature like an actual bookshelf - but of course, this is nothing new in the world of e-readers, but something new for RAmos. The player looks thin and well crafted and seems comfortable to hold. If not a winner then at least a step in the right direction.

This Taiji 10-inch tablet which will be unveiled at Computex which kicks off tomorrow looks pretty run-of-the-mill until you turn it over and find the pop-off bluetooth keyboard. Could it become a standard?

The HOTT MD700 has been given a test drive by the busy bees over at iMP3 and they have certainly put it through its paces, testing audio, video (with an extensive file format list test), displaying the UI, office program testing. One curious thing, though, is that web browsing appears to be sneakily missing aside from a reference and the MSN messenger that is clearly installed wasn't tested either. Overall the thing looks pretty solid, especially the office application but the on-screen keyboard might be less than convenient to use.
In case you can't remember, the HOTT MD700 7-inch 800x480 MID uses the Telechips TCC8901 chip, has support for 1080p (1920×1080) HD decoding for following file formats: AVI, RM, RMVB, MKV, FLV, DAT, VOB, WMV, MPG, MP4, M4V video file formats; has suppo
The V5HD PMP by less-well-known Chinese manufacturer Viewo, whose last grace on this blog was their pink-trim 4-incher, certainly doesn't look all that pleasant. It's that logo. But this PMP coming in 4GB/8GB flavours joins the legion of 4.3-inch players but opts go to down the 720p route, rather than sporting 1080p capability which certainly is the current market trend. It will support the standard array of video file formats (AVI, MKV, VOB, MP4 etc.), supports a card expansion slot rated at up to 16GB, and is generally all-around unimpressive. Another cookie-cutter player in the fray, but one that is nothing special.

Qiji are generally fond of large display phones, launching recently at their own event the Qiji third generation 'SmartBook' phone, the SmarBook III. Like the models in line before it, the SmartBook III comes with a 5-inch WVGA touchscreen, runs on Windows Mobile 6.5 OS and packs an impressive 5-megapixel camera. The device also has 512MB of RAM, 512MB ROM, and will come in two flavours: the V3000 and U3000 which sipport CDMA2000 EVDO and GSM networking respectively. The specs are all lovely and dandy and if you're a fan of big display phones, then you should be interested in this one.

We've already heard from Inkia with their inPad 701 and 702, but now another Android-powered MID has surfaced from the same company that will be carrying a Marvell PXA303 chip (instead of the RK2808 that the inPad 701 and 702 are carrying), has a 5-inch 800x480 touchscreen with WiFI and 3G connectivity and t hat is about all that is known about this player but in the near future more information is bound to surface.

The Viliv N5 MID is expected to be delayed to some point in June and it doesn't bode well for pre-order holders who have not received any news regarding the status of their orders. Though disappointing the delay of the Viliv N5 MID is, we can't say we won't be excited to finally see it in action when it does hit store shelves in June.The reason for excitement is - though nobody is as of yet totally certain as to the confirguration of the Viliv N5 MID, there has been some speculation and leakage from sources saying that the sleek device will be powered by the Atom Z520 processor clocked at 1.3GHz, come bundled with 32GB of flash memory, have 1GB of RAM, integrated Intel GMA 500 graphics and a screen resolution of 1024x600 on its 4.8-inch screen size. What's not to be excited about?

The 5-inch Chinese PMP market is, shall we say, saturated with a huge variety of models and brands each providing similar performance to the other and therefore creating no clear cut "best" and "worst" list. iToos recently has added to the complication further with their M8HDP 5-inch player utilizing the Boxchip (so most probably a Sochip) and capable of playing 1080p videos (most likely the Sochip SC9800 variant). The screen resolution runs at 800x480 and the player supports the standard array of video file formats including MKV, AVI, WMV, MPG, VOB etc. Considering the power of the chip, this player will do very well with video. Starts out in 8GB flavour.
