Now that we’ve seen what the official mylo Personal Communicator com-2 looks like, we can now start deciding if we want it or not. It’s quite an amazing device and it seems positively understated compared to the over-hyped products we’ve been covering here at this site. Mylo 2 has a QWERTY backlit keypad that [...]

At Long Last, Another Game Boy Micro-Cloning China PMP

ONDA VX747 Brings Wide-Wide-Screen to iPod Touch Clones

The VX747 brings a jumbo-jet touch screen into ONDA’s line of iPhone and iPod Touch clones.

Then came the Nano version, the VX878 with a 2.4-inch screen. The VX747’s screen isn’t [...]

Sliding form-factor? Check. Dark top and white underparts? Check. Controls revealed after the slide? Check.

What you’re looking at right there isn’t a newfangled printer, which was what I first thought when I saw this.
