Looking to take the place of its older brothers is the Onda VX898C, a 4GB MP3 player that has been tweaked in every area to fit nicely in mp3 player sized slot in the market.
A 128 x 64 resolution 1 inch colour screen replaces the old monochrome version of old with a new user-geared UI.
Ergonomics have been worked on to make it fit snugly in the hand, the width is down 20% to 10mm and it now weighs 20 grams.
The VX898C also has a multi-band EQ with presets, FM radio with a recorder, a voice recorder, an e-book reader (although it's not really the screen for it, right?) and lyrics display.
Charge is a respectable 20 hours of play and it can be charged easily via USB2.0.
The 4GB player also comes at the nice price of around $30 but is only available in China.
