Aigo is finally making good use of their F1 racing McLaren Mercedes sponsorship. On October 18 they launched the Aigo Vodafone McLaren Mercedes MP5 player or the MP5-MK3510, which is a 4.3-inch 480 × 272 PMP with support of up to 720P (1280 x 720) HD resolution. It plays RM, RMVB, AVI, FLV, DAT, MPG, MPEG and MP3, WMA, FLAC, APE with BBE and SRS. It has an e-Book reader, photo viewer and FM. It plays 4 hours of video and 10 hours of audio. No pricing yet but if it’s an in-car PMP for McLaren Mercedes and considering the specs it won’t be China cheap.
