Korean manufacturer mobiBLU gets closer to the iPod Touch by launching the mobiBLU i30 for the Chinese market. Th mobiBLU i30 has a 3-inch WQVGA (400 × 240) screen and uses a Rockchip2706 processor. It has respectable multimedia support with direct playback of RM, RMVB (720 × 576) and FLV, AVI (800 × 480) and MP3, WMA. It also tunes in to FM radio. Price set at 488 yuan ($70) with a free Wrist-U-1 as a gift if you buy between June 1 and August 1. The word is that what the Chinese really want is the Cube3.

If I’m not mistaken, based on the Chinese site, that’s WQVGA (400×240) instead of WVGA (800×480). That is, there’s a “quarter” in there (the letter ‘Q’), but that’s still a quite respectable resolution (and screen size) for the price. I’m assuming that those higher resolution video playback capabilities involve down-scaling. Of course, WVGA would be a welcome spec. on a device that price. Someday….
