Korean company LG is looking to replicate the success of its Chocolate series of phones with the GD900, the first phone using a transparent keypad and just like that LG will have another hit without, apparently, doing much (I don’t believe the GD900 will have the features of the LG Arena. The LG-GD900 is a [...]

The promotion material calls it a “No Screen” MP4 player. Frankly, the RM2300 from KO Digital Technology is an elegant-looking portable player that if rendered photos were to be believed puts one over the LG Shine’s mirror screen effect. Specs include TV out and support for RM, RMVB, AVI, FLV, WMA, MP3, OGG, AAC and [...]

The time of LG Chocolate has come and gone and it’s the turn of a more sophisticated fashion phone: iPhone! Verizon probably didn’t read the memo and bravely launched the third-generation LG Chocolate. To be fair, Chocolate 3 is specially earmarked for U.S. customers being a clamshell phone. Another good thing is the adaptation of [...]

After MUMU’s ican comes MUMU ishine an audio/ video player that has nothing to do with Apple or LG. We know next to nothing about this new player except that it’s thin (7mm) and it’s got some of Chocolate’s charm on it and the screen is bigger than on the MUMU ican. [mumumusic]

Gemei’s new “United States” series model is a shiny piece of media-playing slimness. Sure it looks rather like an LG Shine in all its metallic glory, but imitating LG’s Chocolate II hasn’t exactly been bad for Chinese MP4 players. Looking at the X100 on profile on the left of the picture, this one has got [...]

We’ve been bringing you the fugly side of Chinese electronics and, frankly, we’ve had enough so here. 1) Newman (Newsmy) N99. Not a bad-looking PMP if I might say so.

If Onda is launching a iPod Nano Killer, they’re not letting on much. We’ve posted about VX888, which is a PMP with a 2.0-inch LG Shine-like mirror-finish screen, even before we got hold of the complete specifications thinking it’s a pretty noteworthy model just by its looks alone. Now that we have the specs [...]

Chinese PMP maker Onda will unleash a new PMP inspired by the LG Shine. Though Chocolate remains in vogue among Chinese cloners, it takes a step back for the Shine to take the limelight. There is not much yet that is known of Onda’s VX888 (to be differentiated with TMS’s gaming PMP), but it at [...]

Venus introduces the JXD205 MP4 player featuring a one-hundred per cent steel casing and the overall good looks of LG’s Shine phone sans the mirror finish. Yup, the screen does not blend with the rest of the shiny device when left untouch, nor does it look like a touch screen either but a rather [...]

It’s mostly just pictures for now. The iRiver P10 has not been given a launch date still but the pic below (after the break) confirms this PMP isn’t just a figment of our imagination. The most interesting announcement is nothing short of a blast from the future. It’s an impossibly thin player with an improbable [...]
