Teclast may never get over their Chocolate obsession. To tell the truth, the C300 doesn’t look that much different from the earlier Teclast M30.

This “media box” from Yiwu Haofeng code-named HKA-6501C is a DivX, DVD-playing recycled-looking PMP that also supports playback for such esoteric formats like MP4 (AVI) and HDCD or High Definition Compatible Digital, which is a Microsoft proprietary format that offers backwards compatibility with old CDs. If this is not news to you, it definitely [...]

Stretching the definition of portability, the MP-50 from Hong Chung International comes with a 5-inch TFT LCD with a resolution of 320×234 pixels and a 4:3 aspect ratio. That doesn’t sound too bad, until you realize that the device comes connected to a large base that, while enhancing viewing stability, is somehow less than pocket-friendly. [...]

I apologize for anyone who takes offense with the title. I cannot express it any more accurately what I am feeling right now for this blatant violation of intellectual property rights. I mean LG Prada was the original iPhone! Apple actually copied from them, and now this? This is absolutely preposterous! A travesty on the [...]

Shenzhen Martking Ladeb Electronic’s mk113 brings the pretty to digital photo frames, with its leaf-and-flower graphics printed all around the screen’s border.
