Already! We had a feeling it would come very soon but we are blown away by how soon. One week after iRiver announced its new SPINN “hinge” PMP out comes a clone from where else but Shenzhen China. KNC, the manufacturer is a respectable manufacturer and we have featured a couple of its products before. Not that we haven’t seen the “hinge” being used on a PMP before the iRiver SPINN.
Though the designs of the SPINN and the M-298 are uncannily similar, we are prepared to consider the similarity as pure accident. Let’s look at the specs:
- 2.4-inch QVGA screen
- 1.3 megapixel camer
- supports AVI natively and MP4
- plays 8-bit games, NES
- miniSD
- e-Book
- No FM tuner mention and no price yet
Well, a typical Chinese PMP, if I say so myself.
