While the world is waiting for the iPhone Nano, HiPhone has come out with its own version of Nano, and guess what, it’s a clamshell. On the outside it has a dedicated media key reminiscent of the iPod clickwheel (it is the iPod clickwheel) and a monochrome screen that displays the time. Inside is a [...]

The DaXian X999 doubles the fakery and ups the ante on the C-002 HiPhone bringing not only WinMo to an iPhone casing but TouchFLO 3D navigation, developed by HTC. Though the current photos show simplified Chinese UI, the DaXian X999 will be updated to an English UI upon purchase. For $346 you will get an unlocked [...]

The candybar Nokia N78 is designed for music, navigation and most notably, photography. It’s got a 3.2 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and integrated A-GPS, allowing you [...]

Pasen has released several nifty players last year and they are starting the new year with a little more of the same. The new Pasen F10 looks good in the artist’s rendering above. It has a 2.6-inch 400 x 240-pixel screen and plays AVI, XviD, Divx, RMVB, which is actually very impressive. The F10 is [...]

Shenzhen YZX’s PV-T245 takes inspiration from Sony’s Walkman line, which isn’t quite novel. Interestingly though, it doesn’t clone an existing device, with the buttons imitating the Walkman logo instead. The PV-T245 only plays MTV videos, but it can convert RM, MOV, VOB, WMV, ASF, MPEG, AVI and DAT files to this format. The device also [...]

Sliding form-factor? Check. Dark top and white underparts? Check. Controls revealed after the slide? Check. Yup, it sure does seem that the SA 858 from JVJ (Guangzhou) Electronics was inspired in the most part by Postdata’s G100, which was in turn a fan of iRiver’s delicious G10. We at least know the capability of [...]

Shenzhen YZX’s PV-T241 model is admittedly on the slick-looking side, but unfortunately doesn’t deliver much feature-wise, with support for only MTV videos (RM, MOV, VOB, WMV, ASF, MPEG, AVI and DAT files can be converted, though). It also plays nice with MP3, WMA and WAV audio files (with ID3 tags and lyrics display) and [...]

The KM-869 from Cheng Fong Technology tries to jazz up its rather mainstream design with, well, circles. Neon-green ones, to be precise. Love them or hate them, they do tend to grab attention. Anyway, the device supports MTV videos, and MP3 and WMA audio files (with ID3 tags and LRC V.0.2 lyrics display), with [...]

Despite its photo-frame looks, the CVASQ-PMPT from Chinavasion does happen to be a PMP, with support for MPEG-4, WMV, RM and RMVB videos (320×240 pixels, 25fps), MP3, WMA and WAV audio files, and JPEG, GIF and BMP images. The device has a 3-inch touchscreen LTPS TFT LCD with an aspect ratio of 16:9. It comes [...]

Sonwy Technology (doesn’t that name remind you of some other company?) has released the MP4-008C, which plays MPEG-4 videos, and MP3, WMA, WAV and DRM9-equipped audio tracks. JPEG images can likewise be displayed. A 2.4-inch, 320×240-pixel TFT display with 260,000 colors is built-in, as is a 1.3MP camera with 5x digital zoom and a USB [...]
