Sony is serious about entrenching itself into the Chinese PMP market. Its PMX series are on the higher end of the Chnese market but are reachable for consumers willing to pay a little more for quality products. The new Sony PMX-M80 series adds a feature that pushes the envelope for the entire Chinese market: maps. It’s no iPhone GPS by any means but the map browser suite supports electronic maps with points of interest, much like Google Maps on the original iPhone. The company does not have a demo yet for us, which is rather unfortunate but here are the rest of the specs: 4.3-inch 480 × 272 screen, 16GB storage, support for SRS 3D audio, MP4, AVI, WMA, MP3, AAC, mic, memory stick and up to 6 hours of video. Price is 2,260 yuan or $331 USD. Pricey but it’s a Sony.
