The good people over at iMP3 have broken down the MP4 market in terms of the chips that the various players use, listing their pros, cons and general feature sets. This is an in-depth article which you really should read, but we'll give you the gist over here.
Telechips, credited with being integral to the original Mp4 HD capability push, and their TCC8901 chip is which is based upon ARM11 architecture and clocked at 600MHz is given a generally good appraisal, while the Sochip SC9800 is regarded as the ultimate chip for 1280P decoding. The Amlogic AML8726-H is said to have good 1080p video playback as well as supporting Flash and OTG in a more than adequate capacity. The Rockchip RK2806 receives commendable appraisal, and is compared to a 720p master but therein also lies its weakness,
Today seems to be a popular day for Chinese manufacturers to release or announce their players. Now we introduce to you the HOTT MD700 7-inch player, capable of full HD 1080p decoding with a screen resolution of 800x480. The HD stuff is pretty standard fair, but the interesting thing is that it comes with WiFi functionality - something that isn't all too common on the player market. In fact, the WiFi feature really is something quite special for a player like this. Further, despite the large 7-inch screen, the player still sports a fairly modest footprint, coming in at 192 × 115 × 14.5mm dimensions. The player utilises the Telechips TCC8901. Specs follow.
Support for 1080p (1920x1080) HD decoding for following file formats: AVI, RM, RMVB, MKV, FLV, DAT, VOB, WMV, MPG, MP4, M4V
Chuwi contact us today with the news that they will be having some new players coming out. At first i had hoped it would be news about their new linux based MID that i was informed about sometime ago, but it was infact news on another Telechips 8901 based player. The P7 looks to be on the same lines as the RAmos T11TE and the Teclast T56, it looks to have a 5.0" touch screen and a user interface that will be based around Flash. This is certainly a good thing as it means the UI will be much nicer and far more interactive than what we normally see from similar non flash based touch screen players.
We can also expect there to be an HDMI port on the player and it will support 1080p video playback and 1080p video out. There really isn't much additional information, I will update when i g
