The 4.3-inch PMP is now available for 699 yuan ($102), which is a really cheap price for anything tied to the McLaren Mercedes brand, not to mention an 8GB player.

We’ve been wondering when Chuwi will come out with its UMPC. If Aigo can do it, why not Chwui, maker of the T8 PMP? The Chuwi W3000 has WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS and the tastiest optional applications: instant messaging, navigation software, among others probably related to multimedia. It plays AVI and RMVB and perhaps other [...]

We’ve heard of MP5 players, which are PMPs a notch above the usual MP4 players only for playing RMVB along with the usual video files. Now, here comes the MP7 player, which from the list of specs does nothing more than an MP4 player. It has a 2.8-inch screen and a 1.3MP camera. Card slot [...]

We’ve had some pretty odd-looking MP3 players and PMPs here at PMP Today but this new Aigo MP3 player takes the cake. The device is obviously a puzzle piece and may be a little too late for Valentine’s despite the English letter at the bottom left of the photo. The leak doesn’t provide specifications. I’ll [...]

Korea’s Sarotech has beat China-based Aigo for the most storage in a PMP, jamming a 320GB hard disk inside the Abigs DVP-260X. It’s obviously not just a portable media player and should double perfectly as a storage device that you’d be glad to take everywhere with you. It has a 2.5-inch display with support for [...]
